Discovered Super Cute Place Cards ♡
I found very stylish place cards that look like something from an overseas wedding!
Don’t you think they look so chic and wonderful, resembling high-end hotel room keys?
Actually, these place cards are made using "semi-transparent plastic sheets" sold at Seria! It’s shocking to think such cute place cards can be made from plastic sheets you can buy at a 100 yen shop ♡
Let me introduce how to make them right away! ♩
《How to Make Room Key Style Place Cards》
~What You Need~
Here are the materials for the room key style place cards*
☑ Semi-transparent plastic sheets from Seria: 100 yen each (B5 size, can make about 4-5 pieces from one sheet)
➡ If there's no Seria nearby, they are also available on Rakuten for around 100 yen*
☑ Mitsubishi paint marker in gold: about 200 yen
☑ Tassels or ribbons to attach: about 10 yen each
(If making tassels, it's recommended to attach them to a jump ring)
Even if you make enough for 80 people, it will be around 3,000 yen. You can create each one for less than 50 yen ♡
~Steps to Make~
① Cut the plastic sheet to the desired size. The plastic sheet shrinks to about half when baked in a toaster, so think of it being double the size you want to end up with ♩
It’s recommended to test several times to determine the size*
Make the left side of the end look like a hotel room key tag shape and punch holes for the tassels or ribbons.
② Write the guest’s name on the plastic sheet. Since it’s semi-transparent, you can pre-print the guest's name on word and trace it over with the plastic sheet to get a neat result*
③ Bake the plastic sheet in the oven. The heating time is about 45 seconds to 1 and a half minutes. There are heating times and precautions written on the back of the plastic sheet's bag, so make sure to follow them to bake safely without burns ◎
④ Once the plastic sheet has shrunk, take it out of the oven, place a cooking sheet on top and put a magazine or other weights on it to keep it straight.
⑤ After it cools down, attach the tassels or ribbons to the holes, and it’s done! ♩
