Holiday Place Setting by Virginia


Virginia Lu created a festive place setting for holiday guests using our Tubes and SRM Stickers. Virginia provided the tube instructions;

1. Cut a strip of cardstock (heavy cardstock suggested), measuring 1 3/4" x 6"
2. Score a line at 1 3/4" and then use a 1" circle punch to make circles for the tubes
3. Use a border punch to trim the bottom of the card
4. Decorate with SRM Stickers
5. String through the holes with twine and add embellishments such as holly and leaves



Virginia filled the Tubes with almonds. She dry-roasted the almonds with a mixture of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper in an effort to keep them non-sticky for the Tubes.



Virginia used We've Got Your Sticker "Merry" stickers to adorn her placecards and Tubes.




Please join us on Friday, November 11th for a multi-manufacturer Blog Hop with Operation Write Home. We are thrilled to be a part of this important cause and we hope you'll join in on the hop!
