Add an organic and natural element to your dinning table with this easy and free tutorial using wood chips for place card holders. Not only does it give a personalize setting to each of your guests, but it brings a bit of the outdoors inside.
Clean up the wood chip by shaving any excess {as seen on the right} with your razor blade. A semi smooth wood chip makes it easier to spray paint and also won’t snag or anything at your table when it is finished.
Spray paint wood chip. I like to do this outside as it can get a bit messy. Spread a towel or paper on the ground first to keep your painting area clean.
Using a razor blade knife and a lot of pressure, cut a straight line across the wood chip. You may need to do this a few times for each one. I have found a razor blade is perfect for this as it cuts a tight and sharp line through your wood chip. You do not want a thick cut or to cut on the diagonal. A thin line will hold up the paper you chose to place inside of it and fall over.
