Here’s a cute and easy way to make inexpensive, custom place cards for a wedding, shower, holiday celebration or dinner party.  Simply cut out leaf shapes from a thick piece of paper with your guests’ names printed or hand-written on it.  Punch a small hole in each of your “leaves,” thread ribbon, raffia or string through the holes and tie around the pears’ stems.  Tie and cut the ribbon and voila, you have elegant yet trouble-free place cards that double as favors for guests to take home!
