Simple DIY Pumpkin Place Card Holders

6 comments

DIY pumpkin leaf place cards - Sugar & Cloth - Entertaining - Holiday - Houston Blogger

Believe it or not, I’m actually a total underachiever when it comes to preparing for parties and holidays.

That doesn’t mean I don’t go at least five miles out of my way for cute gift wrapping, it just means that I wait until I’m biting my nails all the way to the shop for the cute gift wrap in order to not be late to the party. That makes perfect sense, right?

This all brings me to my next point, which is if there’s a way to make something super cute in less than five-minutes before a get together, then I’m game!

Kind of like these simple DIY pumpkin leaf place cards for the holiday table. Mix them with dark colors for Halloween, or go white and bright with a little gold here and there for Thanksgiving. You pick!

How to Make DIY Pumpkin Place Card Holders

Martha Stewart vintage frame labels

Gold floral wire (two of the same shape for each setting)

Mini pumpkins

Pencil or pen (or a stick if you’re rustic)

Wire cutters

DIY pumpkin leaf place cards - Sugar & Cloth - Entertaining - Holiday - Houston Blogger

Wrap half a strand of floral wire about 5 inches long around a pen or pencil to give it a curled shape.

Write each name on two stickers and place the stickers on each side of the wire where it’s left uncurled. This makes a double sides place card with the wire in the middle.

Twist the end of the wire around the stem of your pumpkin, and give the opposite end of the wire a little twirl to finish off the gold stem look.

Throw in a few other key decor items to set the mood of the table, and your guests will never know you only sweated a few sacred minutes over these!

Easy Ideas for DIY Name Card Holders

With the amount table settings we put together around here, we’re definitely no stranger to place card holder ideas!

These are endless ways to create your own DIY versions or repurpose unexpected items to use as name cards, like we did with these ribbon candy holders!

Here are a few of my favorite past projects —

  • Faceted Easter egg place card holders
  • Clay DIY Geometric place card holders
  • DIY Mini mountain photo holders that you could easily repurpose
  • DIY candy ribbon place card holders
  • Simple pumpkin leaf place card holders
  • DIY Colorblock easter table name cards

Fair warning: some of those are oldies, but goodies!

It’s kind of crazy to think that I’ve been blogging for so many years that old photography methods look ancient to me now!

Instagram post 2197011375011471709_5311597 Officially 38 weeks and 2 days! Feeling physically tired, but happy, and glad the holidays will bring some quietness to the chaos of work from the last few months. ⁣ ⁣ So, so ready to sleep on my stomach again, be able to sit up quickly, and generally just not move like a sloth.⁣ ⁣ But also a nervous about becoming a family of four when I love our little trio with Gwen so much.⁣ ⁣ Definitely feeling very sentimental of our time with her as an only child right now. ⁣ ⁣ Is it strange that she’s the one at the top of mind when it comes to all the things right now, or did any of you have a hard time wrapping your mind around transiting from only one child? ⁣ ⁣ Also yes, I did look like a rainbow where’s Waldo today... ⁣ ⁣ #smithsgonemild #38weekspregnant #realmotherhoodseries #thebump #momsofinsta
