Cork Place Card Holders for the Holidays

Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year?  If you are still in need of a cute idea for place cards, maybe give this one a shot.



It's super easy, although you will want to be VERY careful.  Simply make a slit in a cork with a box-cutter or exacto-knife.  I found it helpful to make a very shallow cut initially and then dig deeper to make the groove both deeper and slightly wider.

To prop them up, you can glue them to something heavy-ish and flat, or just do what I did:

Two tacks pushed in the back at a slight angle will keep your guests from rolling around your table while you're trying to feast.

Voila!  This project took me about 30 minutes max.  Let's eat!
