Happy Friday! Can’t believe we are already at Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas!
For Day 7, I chose to share an easy and cheap way to add a little fun to your Christmas meals
These fun label/place holders are quick, easy and so cheap! They are a great way to dress up a table and make it look like you went to a lot of work
Here’s how you can easily make your own:
Purchase 1 2×4 @ 8ft. long from your local hardware store.
This is the perfect saw for this project. It is inexpensive and easy to use ~ great start if you are new to wood working!
I painted my blocks with a VERY favorite, Rust-Oleum Heirloom White spray paint (2 coats).
I use 80-grit sand paper in my 3M sanding block to distress the edges.
After distressing, I follow-up with one coat of Rust-Oleum Early American Stain. Apply a small amount with a foam brush and wipe away after 5 minutes. (Tip: stain will get all over the blocks when you wipe away and that is even better!)
These are the card holders I purchased and I love them! I have ordered them several times for previous projects!
Now for the labels
These are so versatile and could be used all around the house
I love using them to label dishes for Christmas parties
or a cute display for the season!
And I think it makes a cute addition to a family photo!
The possibilities are ENDLESS Let your imagination go!
I have added printables for all of the labels, that I made for myself, for your convenience!
Hope you love them
