Now what ever happen to the acorns? Well, I changed my colors and now I have half finished acorn place card holders sitting in a box. I am NOT repainting all of them and gluing again ...no way! I needed some easy cheap place cards and holders.
I really like the blumebud...but the cost is crazy for just 6 ...around $10 plus shipping = two 12X12 card stock and eight 4 or 3.75 inch water tubes. You can purchase double sided 12X12 card stock for under $1 a sheet the tubes run about .10 each. I am using the scrap leftover from my diy pocket fold. I also plan on stamping a peony pattern on them. Anyways...on to the tutorial!
