A seat card gift that you absolutely can't throw away and are happy to receive. An idea for creating original seat cards using mint tins! ♡

I may have seen a【can】place card for the first time!?

There are various types of place cards, from paper ones to vases and handkerchiefs...

But I feel like this idea of using a【slide can】for a place card is a first for me!

So, what is it exactly? Here it is ♡

The names of the guests are placed inside a slide can filled with candies or ramune, creating a unique place card arrangement!

The theme is "Museum Souvenirs"

This place card can was made by a person named Hina (@lll_wd_2022) ♡

The theme "Museum Souvenirs" features famous paintings like Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper, and Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus as backgrounds.

Indeed, such candies or ramune souvenirs can be found in most museum gift shops...! The attention to detail is amazing 😲

It seems that instead of candies or ramune, some guests received letters inside ♡

(That means it's a message as a place card...!)

Furthermore, Hina named each table after a painter and combined the designs of the place cards with works by those artists!

For example, the design of the place card for someone sitting at Raphael’s table is inspired by "The School of Athens," while the design for someone at Botticelli’s table is based on "The Birth of Venus," and so on.

The seating chart in the profile book includes the same paintings as the place cans, making it easier for guests who may not be familiar with art to understand ♡

How to Make Them?

There are two methods for making these place cans.

➀ Purchase slide cans and apply stickers

This method involves applying stickers on simple slide cans. Slide cans can be purchased on Rakuten for 10 cans at 2,200 yen.

It seems Hina used the sticker application method as well. She printed the stickers on a site called Open Print Me ♡

While the unit cost is low, you have to manually apply the stickers, which can be time-consuming.

② Ordering slide cans

Another option is to order slide cans from a shop called My Shumi. For small cases, one can costs 423 yen (including both case and print costs!).

Although the unit cost is higher than using stickers, the quality is elevated because they are printed ✨

This is likely to trend!

The idea of using candy or ramune cans as place cards is unique and stylish, and I believe it is going to trend in the future.

If I received such a lovely place card, I would definitely use it afterwards to hold candies or hairpins and make it a cherished item ♡
