A nice element for the Easter table is place cards to set at each person’s seat, marking their spot at the table. Is it necessary? In most cases. no, but it sure adds another happy little touch to the table, and in this case, a bit of springtime whimsy with miniature floral bouquets adorning each card.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Place cards
- Tissue paper, cut into small pieces
- Small Filler Flowers, clipped into small sprigs
- Cord, string, or embroidery, cut into short lengths
- Low temperature glue gun
To make each tiny bouquet:
- Write each guest’s name on a place card, leaving space to attach a bouquet.
- Select a couple of the floral sprigs and gather into a bouquet.
- Wrap with tissue to resemble a purchased floral bouquet.
- Using the cord, wrap around the tissue paper on the bouquet and tie in place. Cut off any excess cord.
- Using the low temp glue gun, place a small amount of glue on the place card where you’d like the bouquet to be, and stick bouquet into place.
And you’re done!
IT'S ME, SERENA!
I bounced through the first years of my life in a hippie gypsy wagon, hand-built by my father, wandering the back roads of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. My family eventually settled into a tiny cabin in the woods on property that was once inhabited by Native American Indians.
I spent my childhood days searching for arrowheads, teaching myself to sew on a treadle sewing machine and to bake in a wood-burning stove, with no running water, refrigeration, or electricity in our home. My family lived frugally and early on, inspired by my parent’s thriftiness and style, I gained a knack for thrifty creativity and turning ordinary objects into something useful. And I dreamed of the home I would create for my own family someday.
Now I’m married to my husband, Colin, and our children are all grown. After 24 years of producing The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair, I'm spending time visiting other markets around the world. You can watch episodes of Serena Goes to Market here.
I share more about my life story from time to time, here on my blog. You can also find me on Instagram, and Facebook.
