Make Christmas Ball Place Card Holders

Make Christmas Ball Place Card Holders


Make your family and friends feel special this Christmas when they come over for dinner. They will know just where to sit at the table with these Christmas ball place card holders. They are a fun and easy-to-make decoration. These place card holders add that special touch to your Christmas table that shows how much you care about every detail.


Instructions


1. Cut a very thin slice of foam into a square 2 inches by 2 inches or smaller, depending on the size of your Christmas balls. Make as many foam pieces as you will be having guests. Use a golf ball or something small and round to push into the center of the foam, creating a concave shape. Paint the pieces red or green.


2. Take one Christmas ball for each guest and put a drop of instant glue on the bottom. Stick the ball to the foam so that it will stand straight up. Put an extra wire hanger in the top along with the original. There should be two wire hangers on each ball.


3. Cut 4-inch by 2-inch pieces of card stock with your craft scissors, giving them a fancy border. Write the name of the guest on the card with a fine-point marker. Make the name fancy by drawing an upside-down candy cane for the letter J or a Christmas ball for the letter O. Decorate with Christmas stickers.


4. Place the cards in between the two wires on the top of the ball. Now they are ready to be placed on the table for your guests.


Tips Warnings


You can buy packages of Christmas balls and stickers at your local dollar store.


Buy paint that is suitable for use on foam, since other paints will dissolve it.
