Menu and Napkin holder


 

Here are the last two pieces of my wedding set 
I have made for CCIDT !

A Napkin holder I made from two cupcake holders.
And a Menu card. The idea is the menu goes on the back BUT
you could make it as a card and have the menu inside 
as an insert.

Here is the whole set together, wish I had had this idea last year when I got married !! 


To make the Napkin Holder I used:

Other items: Flowers, Ribbon, pearls, Peeled Paint ink

To make the menu I used:


Other: Flowers, ribbon, pearls, peeled paint ink

Pop over to the Crafter's Companion blog
There are some awesome downloads on there !!
