Ahh, December — the perfect month to try your hand at hosting parties and dinners. Pinterest brims with holiday crafts and recipes, like an overflowing stocking.
In celebration of this crafty Christmas season, we decided to have a little holiday fun of our own and see if we DIY novices could create a name card inspired by a place setting on Martha Stewart’s website.
Supplies:
- Tree Branches
- Hot glue gun
- Construction Paper and Pen
- Small Evergreen branches and Holly leaves
- Fake Décor Berries or Cranberries
- Your favorite Christmas music
Step 1:
First, cut two same-size pieces of the branches; ours are about 3-4 inches long.
Step 2:
Glue the two branches together, making sure to not let the glue show.
Step 3:
Now, cut out and write or print your name tag. We matted ours with classic red paper to accent the berries.
Step 4:
Slide the name tag between the two branches; use glue if necessary.
Step 5:
Glue a small piece of evergreen or holly leaves to the edge of the name tag. Add two or three berries for an extra touch!
These name cards look so classy that it’s difficult to believe they hardly took us any time. Even without two pairs of hands, these name cards can be created quickly and stress-free.
You don’t need to spend your life savings on fancy decorations to make your Christmas merry and bright. With these simple name cards, you can welcome your guests into your home with class and beauty.
This Christmas, handcraft your home!
