How to Make Anthrpologie-Inspired Wedding Place Cards
Difficulty Level: Easy
PROJECT MATERIALS
• Small fabric squares
• Seeded paper
• Colorful mini scrapbook tassels
• Double-sided 3D foam adhesive squares for cardmaking
• Ink pen of choice (or printer)
• Scissors (as needed)
• Craft tweezers (as needed)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prep your project! If your fabric isn't cut into the perfect squares yet, cut them into your desired sizes. Our patterned fabric squares are 2.5" wide.
2. Using scissors or a paper trimmer, your paper squares should be a bit smaller than your fabric squares, but still large enough to write guests' names and table number (if making them into escort cards). Our paper squares are 1.75" wide. If using seeded paper, it is naturally thicker and more fibrous, so scissors might be your best tool.
3. Whether you choose to print using your favorite printer or handletter each card, write your guest names on the paper squares. You'll need to do this before assembling everything together!
4. Use the tiny foam adhesive squares to attach your papers to fabrics. Since the squares are so tiny, we found craft tweezers very helpful and saved us time. Those foam squares can be fiddly!
5. We love tassels, so we wanted to add a little tassel touch to these Anthro-inspired place cards. Using foam adhesive squares or adhesive of choice or even tiny gold safety pins, attach your embellishments on each card. Scrapbook enamel dots in each corner is another idea that would also be really cute!
6. If using as place cards, put your cards on every place setting at the wedding reception. If using as escort cards, arrange them on a hanging display with mini clothespins. Have guests take them home with them after the celebration!
