Print Project

Step 1

Cut a square piece of kraft paper that fits around the pot. Crush it up until it feels soft and flexible, like fabric. 

Step 2

Wrap the crushed paper around the pot, overlapping the sides. Use a dab of hot glue to hold the shape. If needed, trim the paper to shape.

Step 3

Tie a ribbon around the wrapped pot and use a dab of hot glue to hold it in place.

Step 4

Cut a piece of floral wire about 5” [12.7cm]. Roll one end into a swirl so it can hold a place card.

Step 5

Cut a piece of cardstock into a rectangle and write your guests name with a marker. Place the card into the swirled wire.

Step 6

Repeat for all guests.
TIP: Set the table with matching chargers and your favorite dishes.
