I fell in love with these Better Homes and Gardens do-it-yourself place card holders as soon as I saw them. I love the bright vibrant colors they’ve used here and the varying heights and shapes… and the fact that they look relatively easy to make.

Buy some wood finials (there are good online sources like Rockler and Woodworks, Ltd.) and saw a notch in the top. Sand it down before spray-painting in your chosen color(s).

They are perfect for place cards, and also food labels and displaying menu cards or photos.
