Fun and Easy Cardboard Place Cards for Your Thanksgiving Table

 Are you looking for a quick and easy Thanksgiving DIY project? Learning to create upcycled cardboard place cards for your Thanksgiving table using simple materials. Great for a festive touch!

Hello everyone! I'm excited to share this easy upcycling project with you. We'll be making place cards by repurposing cardboard. I had some cardboard lying around and wanted to find a creative use. 


Quick Video tutorial



Materials:
- Cardboard sections: 3x8 inches (cut into strips)
- Faux flowers
- Paint marker
- Floral cutters
- Hot glue
- Scissors or paper cutter (Used for cutting the cardboard into strips)


Start by cutting the cardboard into strips. I used sections that are 3x8 inches in size.
Next, fold each cardboard strip in half and flatten them out by pressing the folded sections together.

Then, use a paint marker to write the names and add any designs you want on the cards.


After that, use floral cutters to cut faux flowers that you want to use on the place cards. Attach the flowers to the place cards using hot glue.


That's it! It's simple and looks great displayed on the table. There are many ways to customize your place cards. I hope you enjoy this quick and simple craft.

  3. Great idea. These place cards have to be less likely to fall over that the usual cardstock ones! Adding the florals is a nice touch too. P/C. Coming from Turn around Tuesday #19, 29, 23

DIY Tea Tin Planter for Sweet Mint

Today’s tiny DIY win: turning an empty lemon‑ginger tea tin into a planter for a sweet mint plant that needed some love. I cleaned the tin, added drainage, and nestled the mint inside. It instantly brightened up the space — the colors on the tin and the fresh green leaves look so sweet together. I love giving everyday items a second life, especially when they end up this cute. Quick Video Tutorial  I began this little project by cleaning out an empty metal tea container that I had saved. It still held a soft scent of lemon and ginger, and I loved the idea of giving it a second life. Once I washed and dried it, the container felt ready for a new purpose.   Next, I used a finishing nail and a hammer to create a few drainage holes in the bottom of the tin. Since metal containers don’t have natural drainage, this step helps keep the roots healthy and prevents the soil from becoming soggy. Having prepared the container, I carefully removed the sweet mint from its original pot. The ...
