How to Make An Apple Placecard Holder

Setting your dinner table with natural elements is a great way to celebrate harvest time. Apple place-card holders look delicious and add color to your table. Each guest can keep his apple to savor later. Add a big bowl of polished apples in the center of your table for a coordinating centerpiece.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Red apples with stems attached, enough for each guest
• Twine or thin raffia
• Card stock paper
• Fine-tipped black marker or calligraphy
• Hole punch

1. Wash and dry each apple. Polish until shiny.

2. Cut out the shape of a leaf from the card stock paper. Cut enough for each place card. Gently bend each leaf in the middle but do not crease.

3. Write each guest's name on the leaf.

4. Punch a hole in one end of each leaf.

5. Cut the twine or raffia into 6-inch pieces. Cut as many as you need.

6. Thread a piece of twine or raffia through the hole punched in a leaf. Tie around the stem of the apple and either tie into a bow or knot. Repeat for each leaf and apple.

7. Set an apple one each plate at the table.
