Place Cards

Our group of four enjoys some of the best friendships ever.  As none of our families are nearby, our little group got together for Thanksgiving.  With no one a particular fan of turkey,  nor the all-day cooking hassles, we broke tradition by ordering our favorite Chinese goodies the day before and reheating them on the Big Day.  All of our local restaurants were closed so that’s how we made do.  It was a wonderful event, quite delicious, and a hostess who was actually able to enjoy the party!

I thought some place cards would be fun additions to the festivities . . .


I cut the tag bases twice, scored the second one ½” down from the top and added glue above the score line.  With the two pieces glued together, the tags became stand-up place cards.  Along with the name strip, both the pumpkin and the acorn were popped up for dimension.  Coloring was done with both pencils and markers.

Hopefully, everyone’s Thanksgiving Day was as wonderful as ours!
