Instructions
1. Download either the Word document or PDF above.
2. Print as many place cards as you need (there are six to a sheet) on plain cardstock.
3. Use a paper-cutter, a craft knife and ruler, or scissors to cut between the place cards. (The dotted orange lines will guide you where to cut.)
4. Place the card stock on a cutting board and insert the knife point where the hat meets the blue dotted line. Cut around the top of the hat and the top of the clover, being careful not to cross over the dotted blue line.
5. Once the cards are cut, fold along the dotted blue line. This should make the hat stand up.
6. Write the name of a guest on each place card. If you have a green pen, that would be even better!
