Indian Corn Place Card Holder
This one takes a bit more time as there are lots of little dots (corn)
to glue on.
 Supplies
1 Toilet Paper Cardboard Roll
Yellow, red, brown and black paper
Stick Glue
Scissors
Hole Punch
How to
Make Indian Corn Place Card Holders
| Step 1 |
Cut two long
slits down both sides of the cardboard tube to about half way down.
Trim the tube to form oval (or corn) shapes on both sides cutting down
to about 1/4 inch above the bottom of the slits.
|
| Step 2 |
Using the hole
punch, create lots of dots with the yellow, tan, red and black paper.
Make sure to have more yellow than the other colors. |
| Step 3 |
Using the stick
glue, spread on a generous amount of glue on the tube. Do this in small
areas at a time. Now place the dots on the glue in rows and columns.
Place random red, brown and black dots among the yellow dots.
Completely cover the front and sides of your tube. Don't worry about
covering the back as this will be where you place the corn stalks. |
| Step 4 |
Lastly, cut some
corn stalks from the tan paper. You can use brown as well. Tape or glue
these to the back of the indian corn.
|
| Step 5 |
Cut one more
corn stalk and write the person's name on it. Make sure it is wide
enough at the bottom to slide in the slits on either side of the tube.
Slide in this piece of paper and set it at the table.
|
Picking up the small dots punched out with the hole punch can be a bit
tricky. One easy way is to slightly wet the end of your finger and then
press on the dot to pick it up.
