DIY :: Holiday Place Card and Takeaway Gift all in one
I had such a great time at my book signing at Paris Market, in Savannah making these darling DIY holiday place cards that I thought I would share this easy craft with all of you. It's sweet, functional, and a wonderful gift for guests to take home after the festivities. I love the idea so that our guests to know where to be seated at the table. Even if I have 6 guests over to the house, I love making fancy place settings. It's the little touches that make all the difference, and if you want to show your guests you care, you will take a few moments to make a little something special. It's kind, and it's so enjoyable. Have a wonderful holiday season and make these little snow globes; I just love them!You will need:- Hot Glue Gun- 2. 5" ball jar- Small toy deer, rabbit, or christmas tree- Faux snow- 1/2 inch silk ribbon- Stickers (these are from Michaels)- Sharpie- TwineHow To:1.
