Fork Place Card Holders...

Every year, Mama and I usually make place cards for the Thanksgiving dinner at Granny's, and this year, mama saw this cute idea on a site, that of course did not say specifically how to make them. But...with good common sense, mama figured it out!





We bought some cheap forks from Wal-mart: 4/$1! And then, mama bent the two middle prongs back, and then the two side prongs forward with pliers. You will need to bend the two front prongs at the tips upward to be able to hold the card.





Once you do all your bending, you will need to make sure that your fork is stable. I had to press them down as I sat the fork up to make it stable.









To finish the cards, use your imagination! I love the old antique look. So, I tea dyed white sketch paper to give it an old look. (To Tea Dye...boil 2-4 tea bags until tea is dark and strong, and then, soak until desired darkness.) Once the paper dried, I cut and burned the edges to give is a more original look, and then added it to some scrap booking scraps!

Then, Voila! You have a place card holder! Everyone will "ooh" and "aah"! hahah...
