Materials:
*Glue gun/ clear glue sticks
*Card stock in two different colors, one dark fall color and a contrasting lighter color
*Embellishments: stickers, chipboard flowers, buttons, or 3-D stickers.
1. Heat up glue gun and put in glue.
2. Determine the size of your place cards, most are pretty discreet, about 2 inches tall and 4 inches across.
3. Cut out your first place card, from the dark fall color cardstock, doubling the height size of what you want your finished product to be, since you'll be folding it in half. For example, measuring out a block that's 4 inches by 4 inches. You'll fold this in half, so the finished product is two inches tall and 4 inches long.
4. Cut out your center piece out of the contrasting cardstock color. You want about 1/4 of an inch at least of the dark color to show as a border, so the inside piece should be about 1.5 inches in height and 3.5 inches in length.
5. Glue the inside piece to the exact center of your folded piece of cardstock, wait till the glue hardens.
6. Add your embellishments!
