About

Use ready-made place cards, scraps of fabric and fusible web to create name cards for your dinner party or celebration. They take a few minutes to make and guests will enjoy taking their card home as a memento of a fabulous evening!

PROJECT VARIATION

If your fabric does not have a suitable motif then trace a simple star, Christmas tree or flower shape onto the back of the fusible web, cut it out roughly, fuse it to the wrong side of your chosen fabric then cut it out neatly. Fuse to the card and embellish.
