Place Cards

I made these earlier today to go along with the oh-so-fun turkey cupcakes I will post about next. This does take some time to do by hand, so if you have a Cricut or some other faster method, I recommend going that route (especially if you have more than a few you want to make.)

You will need:

2 different kinds of decorative paper (with at least one piece suitable to write or stamp on)
toothpicks (equal to # of people you are making tags for)
scissors
hot glue gun or glue (but regular glues takes much longer to dry!)
foam dot squares (3D foam dots for scrap-booking)
small letter stamps and ink pad (optional; you can always just write the names out by hand)

Step 1:
Trace and cut out the circles and flowers; you will need to cut out twice the amount of each of the number of guests you are making tags for.

Step 2:

Once you have all your pieces cut out, take one (each) of the inner pieces (the flower cut out) and stamp the names on them in the center. You do not have to stamp the name twice on two different flowers, just do each name once

Step 3:

When you have stamped the names, lay a toothpick at the bottom center of the back of one circle and put glue all over the back. Lay another circle evenly over that, creating a two sided circle on a toothpick. Once they are glued together, you may have to trim the circle so that there is no back side (which would be the white in this picture) showing around the edges.

Step 4:

After trimming, place one square foam on one side of the circle and lay the flower with the name evenly on top. Repeat with the other side (only you will not have a name on the other flower.)

Now you are finished! Make sure all the edges are even and that the toothpick in snugly inserted in the middle of the circles! Now all you have to do is stick the name card in the cupcake or object you want to use with it.
