DIY Votive Placecards
Wow.... I really thought these would be hard to make.... I just attempted my first one and it looks great (If I happen to say so myself!) Lets see how enthusiastic I am after making 70 more!

Re: DIY Votive Placecards
So glad they are coming out great! Where did you buy vellum with a curve? Did you get the votive paper from Michaels?

Re: DIY Votive Placecards

I made the template myself using text boxes in word and it seems to be perfect!!

Re: DIY Votive Placecards
would you mind explaining. I know what a text box is but how did you know the size ect. I am very slow at learning this kind of stuff appreently Did you do a lot of trials before getting it right?
