Holidays Woodland-Themed Place Card Holders - Tutorial

It was fun creating little crafts for the holidays! One of my favorite projects was to make some woodland-themed place card holders for my guests.

So I thought to share how to make them.

You'll need:

- A cotton fabric of your choice and color

- Sharp scissors

- A sewing machine and thread

- An iron and ironing board

- A themed-wood block stamp and ink

- Printing matte paper, a ruler and a sharp cutting knife

Here’s some pictures to help you along:

1. I selected a white cotton fabric to go with my other table accessories. I bought it at a local crafts store - it was perfect for what I needed and it was inexpensive.

2. I made a paper template that measured 10.5 inches high x 4.5 inches wide. After marking the lines in pencil, I cut the fabric with sharp scissors for a crisp edge.

3. I folded them at the top on both sides, then ironed them to keep shape before sewing - sides first and then tops.

4. Next, I tested the ink color on a leftover piece of fabric to see what worked best for my arrangement. I picked a nice emerald green which felt fresh and friendly.
