Kwanzaa Crafts |
Make festive place cards that picture an ear of corn. These simple-to-make table decorations are great for any celebration.
Supplies needed:
|
Cut a piece of construction paper that is about 5 x 6 inches (use any color but green). |
Fold the paper in half so that you have a rectangle that is 5x3 inches. Unfold it. This will be the place card. |
Using a piece of folded green construction paper, cut an oval with pointed ends -- it should be a little smaller than 1/2 of your place card (about 3 inches by 1 1/2 inches).
You should now have 2 green ovals. Cut one of the ovals in half the long way. |
Glue the green oval to the bottom half of the unfolded place card. |
Squeeze a blob of white glue onto the green oval, leaving an edge of about 1/4 inch without glue around the green oval. |
Sprinkle unpopped popcorn (about a spoonful) on the glue. Push the popcorn into the glue. |
Put a line of glue over the right half of the corn. and under the bottom right half. |
Glue on the half ovals of green paper (to be the husks of an ear of corn) at a slight angle (as shown in the picture). Only the edges of these half ovals will be glued -- the rest will stick up over the corn, looking like a partly-opened corn husk.
Let the glue set (this will probably take at least overnight) - if the glue isn't dry completely when you use the card, the glue will slowly leak down the place card (we found this out the hard way)! |
Write the name of a guest on each of the place cards and put each one by a place setting.
You can now use your ear of corn place cards at any celebration table. |
