Evergreen Place Settings

I saw this idea for using small sprigs of fir as a place setting  a while back on a “natural” wedding site and thought I could do put my own spin on it for Christmas.
Fir Christmas Place settingAll I have done is small punch a tag out of Kraft card, used a white gel pen for the writing, added a silver star and then attached the completed tag to a sprig of fir with some brown textured string.

And as I worked with the fir the smell was divine.
