Christmas Place Cards - cork, twine & greens

You know I am fond of place cards for holiday dinners.  I think they are a little touch that can really elevate a meal and make your guests feel special.

How to Make Christmas Cork Place cards

These simple, but sweet Christmas place cards are made with:

• corks
• a 3" nail & hammer
• a bit of greens
• ribbon or twine
• a small tag

I whipped up a set of 6 in about 15 minutes, so even if you are pressed for time, you can probably find a few minutes to make these before your guests walk through the door.  However, unless your party is very small, you may want to get a head start on step 1! Steps:

• drink enough wine to have a cork for each guest;
• using the cork screw hole insert a nail & hammer it gently a few times;

• wiggle the nail around to enlarge the hole;

• insert the bouquet of greens (I used boxwood which has firm stems) into the hole;

• wrap the ribbon or twine (I used red baker's twine) around the greens;

 

• add the name tag & tie.

All set & I just hear the bell.  You did it!  

Your guests will feel very special and they can take their place cards home as a tiny memento of the evening.

Hope you enjoyed my little Christmas place card craft.

Are you getting crafty this Christmas?
