I received lots of FM regarding my place cards. I can't take credit for this because another bride showed me how to make this. She is not on LIW.
Here are the instructions. It's very easy!
Step 1.
Cut paper to 2.5x4 (use cardstock) use corner puncher on upper corners.

Step 2.
Fold the bottom half back to creat support for frame.

Step 3.
Insert 2x3.5 printed cardstock, secure with double sided tape

Step 4.
Insert 1.25x1.25 legs, secure with double sided tape

Completed placecard.

Back View.

Posted by fujamagaHere's my modified placecard - Sam is just too good to us.
Congrats Cathy!!!Another successful DIY. I love it, it's so simple compared to mine.

Now all I have to do is duplicate it a bunch of times (after I go and buy another puncher to replace the one FH broke! )

I don't know the name of it because I threw away the box and I can't find it on their website. If you print the 1st picture that I posted and bring it to the store with you I'm sure a Michaels employee can help you find it.. I got it from the one on Route 110 in Melville. They have a decent selection.

Re: My DIY placecard instructions

I found it, it's the one on the bottom of the page.
corner puncher with slot

This is the one I used.

You can also use this. I actually like this one more but it wasn't at the store.

... or this one
