DIY IDEA 1: PLACE CARDS
Small sprigs of fir or cypress (one per guest)
Green floral wire
Black craft paper
Scissors Hole punch
White permanent marker or crayon
Black twine
1. Shape the fir or cypress sprigs, one per guest, into small rings about 5-7.5cm. Hold these together with a little wire.
2. Cut the craft paper into 5cm circles. Use a hole punch to make a hole in each of the circles, about 5mm from the edge.
3. Write the guest names onto the paper circles with permanent marker or crayon and attach the circles to the twig rings with twine.
4. Arrange the place cards on your festively set table.
