Table Place Cards

An non-edible one today... I am a scrapbook-er at heart. I love the paper and design of the craft. So it didn't take much for me to put together some place cards for Thanksgiving this year. I had all my supplies so it was completely inexpensive.

I started with 4x4 squares and used rusts and burnt orange along with some olive green. I folded them in half like a standard table tent and used decorative scissors on the bottom front edge. I found casual pictures of every guest (I never throw away pictures!), mounted them on cream card stock, and mounted those on the table tents. I went on a walk and found some acorns, acorn caps, small leaves, and some seeds. I glued those on the table tent next to the picture of the guest. I think they look great.

If you have guests that arrive before the big day and need something for them to do, this is a great activity. You could even extend it and have them write why they are thankful for that person on the inside. I assure you it will be a treasure!
