These darling place settings I made for my Ostara 2010 dinner, were worth the effort I put into them! My family adored them, and thought they were the cutest things ever! I'm terrible at explaning things, but I hope you can get the idea of how to construct these based off the photos and materials list! I will explain, however, the twine is for wrapping the bamboo skewers, which anchor the place settings in the little buckets I put them in! You can alter this project and omit the skewers, in lieu of maybe a tri-folded place setting? Also, the skewer is glued between two pieces of solid colored card stock so it looks cleaner. The bunny ears are cut from card stock as well, and glued between the solid/printed card stock layers. I didn't use a pattern, just sort of free formed the ears from left over card stock! I coated one side of the solid card stock with tacky glue, then just dabbed the cotton balls on it, letting it fluff and wisp everywhere for that plushy coat look! Then I just glued the smaller, printed card stock right on top of the cotton, and finished up with adding the names and bows! Paint is optional, outside of the ears! I just put some pretty dots down the side of each name since the paint was glossy and it added some shine to the dull paper! Each name was printed off the computer in a large, pretty font! Feel free to add the names anyway you wish, I just thought this looked cleaner, and cut a lot of time out! *** Time posted is for [ 6 ] completed place cards! ***
