PLACE FRUIT CARDS
Material: Heavy art or watercolor paper or card stock Scallop-edged scissors Fine-point calligraphy pen or marker Hot-glue gun and glue sticks Evergreen sprigs, such as fir or pine Fresh cranberries or other small, hard fruit, such as kumquats
Cut out the desired number of place cards to desired size. Using the calligraphy pen, write names on the cards.
Put a small dot of hot glue on the underside of each sprig and glue the sprigs onto the cards. Put a small dot of hot glue on each fruit and glue the fruit onto each evergreen sprig.
Material: Fresh cranberries or other nonjuicy fruit, such as kunquats 9-inch lengths of 20-gauge florist's wire Scissors Hot-glue gun and glue sticks Seedpods or flower pods such as rose hips, sunflower heads or zinnias
Thread cranberries and other fruit onto the wire, leaving 1 inch of wire free at each end. Place a small dot of hot glue on sides of each fruit at the point where it is pierced by the wire, to seal in any juice that might seep out.
Make a circle of the cranberry wire and twist together the two free ends, snipping off any extra.
Hot-glue seedpods in between the fruits in a decorative pattern. Place a napkin through each cranberry ring.
