Personalized Place Votives

This year for our Christmas dinner I decided to do a little spin on the traditional place cards.

I'm using some of my empty preserve jars.


Adding some fluffy (faux) snow.


A red candle in each jar.

Some cuttings from our Blue Spruce.

A name card for each guys jar using jute. They are no frills kinda guys. ;O)

Lastly, each ladies name hand stitched onto some white cloth.
Used a little fiber fill stuffed it into a canning jar ring.
Using a dome lid and a piece of circular card stock to finish off the back and keep 
everything snugly in place.

One for each dinner guest. 



I had everything on hand.

I'm really pleased with the way they turned out.
They fit right in with my "nature" theme this year.
