do it yourself :: Christmas Place Card Holders

This Christmas we are heading down to my brother's house. Christmas dinner is going to be packed, complete with my family as well as my sister-in-law's family. So, when suggested the idea of place cards at the table, I jumped right in trying to think of a good idea. I found this DIY and decided to try it myself.

Here's what you'll need:

The washers can be found in the sewing aisle of craft stores, they're typically used for shower curtains and whatnot. Make sure you get the right size as mine were a little too big for the ornaments I ended up with.  I found key rings in the jewelry making aisle.

Step One

Hot glue the washer to the bottom of the ornament. This makes it so the ornament can actually stand on its own. If its not directly in the center the ornament will be wobbly or just look ridiculous. {See how ridiculously large my washers are?!?}

Step Two

Wind the key ring on to the top loop of the ornament. 

Step Three

Put a dab of hot glue to keep it in place. Make sure the part of the key ring that splits (the two ends) are not directly at the top. I made this mistake on almost all of mine!

Tahdah! 

You're done! Pretty easy right? 

Now making the actual place card is an entirely different story. I have no talent in that department, so I leave you with this.

Hope you enjoyed the little DIY. I'm linking up with Caroline again today! Swing by over there and check out some other people's projects!

I hope to have a couple more for you this week, so stay tuned!
