We were planning to buy one key holder from a shop, but I changed my mind when I saw a cardboard box, in which our recording stand came.  why cant I change a piece of cardboard to a keyholder? Thats how this project was born

Wedding Place card DIY

I made this simple place cards for one of my friend's wedding party. She wanted a simple yet elegant looking place cards. So I created a few drafts and this card was her selection. This card is so cute and easy to make and assemble. This place card was an absolute decoration for the table. I have done place cards of different styles, but this is my absolute baby, I love it because of its charm and cuteness.

 Materials required

1. Cardstock - ivory or white coloured [I prefer Canson XL if you use watercolour brush lettering.
2. Brush marker.
3. Paper trimmer and scoring tool to cut and burnish the folds.
4. Candle
5. Flowers and leaves for decorating [I used paper flowers and real leaves]
6. Craft edge punch

My place card measures 7-inch height & 6-inch wide, card folds at 3.5 inches. 

A good option, if you are on a budget, is going for 'the paper studio' heavyweight cardstock you will get  50 or 60 for a price of $9. I got it from ' Hobby lobby' with 40% discount. Try using Microsoft word and printer if you are out of time and not good with brush lettering. 

You can keep it simple with a flower and  leaves as shown in the image.

(OR)

Decorate it with candle and wreath for added beauty

This is how it will look when the candle is lit. 

A PICTURE SPEAKS MORE THAN 1000 WORDS........ this place card is so simple so it doesn't need anymore blah blah tuts
