Place Card Holders

 I decided to make some place card holders for our Thanksgiving meal.  I used these little silver sugar bowls that I got last year for Christmas.  They can be bought in a set of six at Layla Grace.  I filled the containers with styrofoam cut down to size and then glued the moss on top of the styrofoam, careful not to get any glue on the silver sugar bowls.

 I bought these cute felted acorns from Stone House Crafts off of Etsy.  They are beautifully made and high quality.  I also used this moss from Michaels and went outside to collect these little sticker balls from the Liquid Amber trees.

 I was spending the day at Greg & Alyssa's house because our house was being painted.  She has these cute little flowers growing in her front yard and they were the perfect size for the place card holder.  I love the color of these flowers.  I ended up not using these flowers because I didn't put florist foam (I just used styrofoam, lesson learned) in the containers and they wilted after an hour.

 I then added the sticker ball with tacky glue.

 I secured the acorn and let it hang off the side.

I then added the names.  I ended up using a creamy paper instead of white, but you get the picture.

I also ended up using fake flowers instead of real due to the fact that I didn't use florist foam.  

For this project you need:

containers

florist foam

moss

tacky glue

small scale flowers

natural element (such as the sticky balls)

felted acorns

name cards
