Using place cards is an easy way to let guests know where you prefer them to sit during a dinner party, but they also add a personalized touch to each place setting. These easy DIY Acorn Place Card Holders can be made quickly and inexpensively.
I had a bag of faux acorns from last year which I had not used. I think I got these at Hobby Lobby but you can find them almost anywhere.
I decided I wanted the actual place card to be leaf shaped. I also decided last minute to add the names pre-printed in my newest fave font called Fontbox Harleybuck. I am sharing the plain maple leaf printable with four place cards for you to use.
This printable below is translucent and will print on a decorative paper like I used.
Use the printable below if you don’t have any decorative paper.
I used cuticle scissors to cut mine out. It helped get around all the little parts. Then, I used a copper paint pen to add some color and help cover up any raw edges.
I was tickled pink with how they turned out and it was the perfect touch to my Breakfast Room Fall Tablescape which I will share with you soon.
So that’s all there is to it. I think it’s the smaller touches such as these Acorn Place Card Holders that make a tablescape special, don’t you?
Loved the idea!!! Thanks for sharing.
What a lovely little idea!!!!
Great, easy idea! Now to find some acorns… Visiting from Think Tank Thursday.
