Homemade Name Cards

A holiday table for entertaining is not complete, in my opinion, without homemade name cards!

See how easy it is to rip in the video below: Make these homemade name cards in minutes: Cut name cards out of cardstock and fold. Decorate with Seal It! Glitter tape. Write name.

When my son discovered that there was mail for him and not only was it mail, but it was a BOX with his name on it, saying that he was thrilled is an understatement! … Continue reading →
