So excited to have Jessica from Two Shades of Pink back with us today.

Hey old friends! Jessica here again sharing some Thanksgiving holiday inspiration. This time its a little diy to dress up a tablescape. These paper leaf and twig place cards are cute, simple and inexpensive.

I have no doubt you will have as much fun as I did making them. :)

You will need small, Y shaped twigs from the yard and small paper leaf cut outs. I used a paper punch but you could easily cut out birch shaped leaves from colored card stock or paper.

I used white paint to dry brush the twigs. White makes the colorful leaves pop and gives it a wintery feel. But leaving it alone will make it look great too.

After you make the leaves, bend them a bit so they look a little more natural.

Hot glue them to your twig.

I chose natural spots that would look like a leaf growing from a tree branch.

I have all this great jute twine that is super thin and rustic looking. It's perfect for a project like this.

I used photoshop to make some colorful ribbon shaped name tags. In case you are wondering, the font I used is brain flower...which is a completely awesome font name.
