Happy Tuesday everyone.
Thanks to the lovely Lawn Fawn and her supreme craftiness we have this weeks wedding DIY. A unique place card that is perfect for a bridal shower or a small wedding affair. A definite keepsake for your guests. A special thanks to our favorite Orange County Wedding photographer Chenin Boutwell for taking the time to actually bring this do-it-yourself to you. Stay tuned because we have an additional DIY that accompanies these escort cards.
Supplies
1. Is a print out from my computer on white card stock.
2. Glue dots
3. Awl
4. Scallop circle punch 1.5″
5. Embroidery floss and needle
6. Corner rounder punch
Print your guest’s name from your computer in a cursive font on to card stock.
Start poking holes with an awl, following the curves of the name Take a long piece of embroidery thread and start embroidering the name.
(The best way to do this is to go up through the first hole, down through the second, up through the third hole, down through the second, up through the fourth hole, down through the third … etc.)
Create a top folded place card from matching card stock and then adhere some patterned paper to that card.
Adhere your embroidered name piece with foam adhesive to the place card. Take a small bud and adhere it with glue to the end of your embroidery.
We will leave with you next weeks adorable DIY also from Lawn Fawn that pairs every so brilliantly with these keepsake place cards.

This looks wonderful, and I’m curious to see what the second part of this will be :)
I have a suggestion for the template, useful especially when using light colored thread: you could print the name on a plain piece of paper and use paper clips to hold it on the card stock. Poke the holes through both paper and card stock, and then remove the plain paper and embroider the card stock. This way the printed line is not visible :)
