Whoever coined the phrase "All is Calm" for this time of year must have been retired. With all the busy things to get done, I still wish my table could look a bit more "Martha Stewart-ish". Who has time to bake goodies, shop, wrap, cook, AND put out a hand-made place card?
So I came up with this 2 minute place card that was made from the left over card stock from another project, in the shape of a Christmas Tree.
Materials:
- 2 strips of green card stock, 11" long x .5" wide
- silver card stock
- star hole punch
- white ink pad
- white pen
- toothpick
- slotted quilling tool
- Overlap the two green strips and glue together to make a strip that is about 21.5" long.
- Run the white ink pad along one edge (this will be the top of the tree).
- Write your guest's name on one end.
- Insert the opposite end into your slotted quilling tool, and start coiling.
- Quillers know to "push" the coil off the tool, but in this case, please "pull" it off the tool and deliberately make a tornado.
- Punch 2 silver stars and glue them back to back, sandwiching the toothpick in between.
- Glue the toothpick to the innermost coil of the tree and snip off the excess.
- Your table is ready to set!
