In preparation to host my first baby shower I made a few place card holders inspired by this pin.

Want to make some place card holders of your own?? Follow these easy steps:

1.  Find a good stick. I pulled one out of my back yard with a good crusty bark that was about 2″ in diameter. I wouldn’t recommend anything smaller than about 1 1/2″ in diameter but you could go up to 4″.

2.  Using a miter saw cut your stick into sections. I cut mine between 1 1/2″ – 2″ and came up with 11 small pieces.

3.  Place each piece in a vice grip.

4.  Using a circular saw, adjust your blade to approximately 1/4″ and run the saw over the center to create a shallow groove.

5.  Repeat with your remaining pieces!

6. Create place cards or labels of your choice and enjoy!
