Placecard Lasagna

Have a slice!
Instructions can be found here. I did scale it down a bit, though. I’m using 2-1/2″ x 3″ inkjet business cards from Staples for the placecards themselves. I made the overall width 4-1/2″, scored 1/2″ in from each end for the front and end, and scored 1″ between each of the folds that hold the placecards themselves. Each holder started as a 4-1/2″ x 17″ flat pieces of paper. After scoring, folding, and tying ribbon through, they end up being 4-1/2″ x around 9-10″ long and allow for 8 placecards per holder. I cut the ribbon in 14″ long pieces as you need some extra to knot it a couple of times so it doesn’t slip through the holes.
I haven’t printed the placecards themselves yet as we’re still waiting to finalize which guest is at which table, but here’s a screenshot of what we’ve decided. Red for chicken, aqua for vegetarian.
Materials:
Strips of 4-1/2″ wide x 17″ long cardstock cut from bright white 11″x17″ card stock.
1/4″ single-faced satin ribbon from Fabric Barn cut into 14″ long pieces.
1/4″ hole punch.
X-acto knife & metal ruler to score card stock.

You’re insane! In a good way, of course. 
Yummo 
lol @ nanette. what a cool way to display your placecards
So cute! Love ‘em!
Brilliant idea! I love the fact that everything is made from paper Maybe you can rubber stamp a little message so that when the cards are removed, there is a sweet saying.
Great idea. I actually just came across that same idea on some other website. I am totally going to try to go it for my wedding next year. Thanks for the directions!
Oh I forgot, if you don’t want to have to knot the ends so many times to get it to stay, you can always find some bead or button for the ends. It adds a nice little touch to the lasagna.
