The table is set, the food is in the oven, but the seating arrangement is still a concern? We have the perfect last-minute idea. Especially when the whole family or some distant relatives gather for special occasions like Christmas, the seating arrangement needs careful consideration. To maintain family harmony during the holidays, place cards help thoughtfully and satisfactorily seat guests at the table.
What Do You Need for the Place Cards?
Place cards are useful but not necessarily essential accessories for table decor. However, they are welcome at festive occasions. In any case, as a host, you can easily earn a few extra points with them. When guests see their names on the cards, they are likely to feel even more warmly welcomed.
Homemade place cards also inevitably give the impression of having invested a lot of effort, cost, sometimes quite a bit of material, but above all, time in preparation. However, the fact that you don’t need all this for Christmas place cards made from toilet paper rolls remains delightfully hidden. To craft the place cards for Christmas, you need:
Materials
- Toilet paper rolls
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Optional: Decorations for embellishing (paint, markers, stamps, stickers, etc.)
Crafting Instructions: From Toilet Paper Roll to Christmas Tree
Only a few minutes left until the guests arrive? Great, then grab the toilet paper rolls! Here’s how:
- For a place card, you need a toilet paper roll. Press it flat and draw a Christmas tree with or without spikes as desired. Important: Leave about 1 cm from the bottom edge so the ring remains intact and the place card can stand later.
- Cut out the Christmas tree along the drawn line with scissors.
- Unfold the place card, label it, and place it on the festive table.
- Decorate the Christmas tree as desired by painting, spraying, sticking, etc.
