Place Card Design & Inspiration
Let's face it; when it comes to DIY projects and last minute event planning details, simplicity is key - but then again, so is style. This is why we've created Decorative Brad Adorned Place Cards. Uncomplicated in both design and assembly, brad adorned place cards consist of just two items - a blank pre-cut place card and a decorative metal brad. Assembly can be concisely summarized in just two steps - print (or hand write) place cards, secure brad - done. That's all there is to it!
If you are interested in this design, read the less concise version of assembly in the tutorial below. For your convenience, you'll find a materials list with quick links to the products, a downloadable printing template, and detailed step-by-step instructions for assembly. Simple design, impressive results - give it a try!
