    Use your imagination and create a place-card holder that borrows a favorite motif or party theme.

    DIY Crafts host Debbie Stapley offer a simple method for creating fanciful place-card holders with a sense of fun.

    Materials:

    Craft foil
    Blunt pencil
    Galvanized wire
    Glue gun
    Wire cutters/pliers
    Scissors

    1. Draw 2 shapes onto the craft foil with a blunt pencil and cut out. (Try to keep outlines simple for easy cutting.)

    2. Glue one piece on top of another, leaving unglued space at the top for place card.

    3. Create a foundation for place-card holder by bending wire. One part should lay flat against table, with one portion extending to secure place-card holder. Hot-glue wire to back of foil piece.

    4. Insert place card.
