Jean Shea: Hi! My name is Jean Shea with Shea Studio Interiors and I am showing you how
to create a beautiful holiday home and one of the components is place cards and
we are going to learn how to do that now. You are going to start out with some
card stock, you can tailor the colors to your theme, this is Christmas, so we are
using green, beige, you could use red. I have got some scissors that have an
interesting little design on the edge, I have a little hole punch, a gold pen, scissors,
a straight edge and some little decals put on there. So, pick a color and it can be
any size also, I am going to just score this a little bit so it makes it easier and
cleaner to fold to score that and then you fold it over, you are going to have a little
fold over like this. You take your scissors and you just snip the edge, this is a
great project to do with your kids too because they it s very easy, it s very crafty.
So, you now you have your little place card. You can take your hole punch and
you can put little hole punch there, you can put multiples, I am going to give it
three on the corner here. So, what you end up with is something like this.
I am going to write the name on it first, this is a gold pen; we have to shake them
up really good before you use them and sometimes you even need to make sure
that the ink is flowing before you use it. I am just going to write my name and
attach a star and if you want it you could even do multiple stars and that you have
a beautiful little place card, that did not take it very long to make and next we are
going to show you how to decorate a Reef.
