How To Make: Gold Place Card Holders

1. In Silhouette Studio, select your font or download and open the free shape (link above)
2. If you are using your own font, type out “summer” – ungroup your letters so that you can move each letter
3. If you are using the shape above, ungroup the shape and use the “summer” letters only
4. Move your letters close together so that some of them overlap and then weld so that you have one connected shape
5. Resize your shape and mirror a copy (mine were 1.5 in tall)
6. Replicate both copies throughout the page
7. Load your printable gold foil onto your Silhouette cutting machine and send to cut using printable foil settings
8. Adhere each pair of shapes (the “summer” shape and its mirror image) to each other so that you have a double-sided “summer” shape
9. Repeat as needed
10. To complete the place card holder, glue 2 sets of double sided summer shapes together leaving the top unglued. This is where you will slide your place card
11. Repeat for as many place cards you need

And that’s it! All you need to do is throw a party! I can’t wait to hear how yours turned out – tell me in the comments below!
