Holiday Place Cards // Pretty Petal

When it comes to creative DIYing, I can't say I've got much talent. I suppose it's a mix between me not really liking corny things. I have trouble finding something to make that is also something useful, necessary and looks good. Let's just say, beyond sewing and knitting, my crafts don't always turn out pin worthy.

Anyways, if you are DIY challenged like me but still want to make some name tags for your holiday dinner parties, look no further. I've come up with a few very easy tags that are sure to impress (at least a little?)

Coming up with a creative name tag is a little harder than it seems. I wanted something quaint and not tacky since it would adorn my table arrangement, but at the same time not have to go get supplies. I looked around my house and found some cardboard, a dried rose (you could dry your own for the occasion), some ribbon, a cardboard container and a thin sharpie. I think it would be great to have all your dried flowers different varieties, for added fun.

I traced the shape of a leaf on the cardboard and cut it out. Be sure you cut the leaf large enough to fit your names. I then got fancy with some cursive (don't fret if you aren't a calligraphy artist, I don't think anyone will be offended, but you could also scope out some inspiration on Pinterest if you are good at copying). Then poke a whole into the leaf and string the ribbon through and voila!

If you want to be more accurate you could always make the leaf green. I didn't seem like that was completely necessary.
