Cool Champagne Cage Placecards

This was something I have in some OLD files of mine
I do not know where I collected it from
This was not one of my original ideas
But it is awful cute ;)

A champagne cage makes a charming and inexpensive place-card holder

Place-Card Holder
Materials:
wire cage from a champagne bottle
wire cutters
needle-nose pliers
colored card stock

Steps:

1. Remove the wire cage from a champagne bottle.

2. Snip the bottom wire that runs around the legs of the cage with wire cutters and remove this collar from the cage (figure A). This piece of wire becomes the chair back, and the rest of the cage is the legs.
3. Twist the wire around one of the legs, using needle-nose pliers to help manipulate the wire if necessary.
4. Shape the wire into a chair-back shape, and attach it to another leg by twisting.
5. Make a seat with colored card stock.
6. Hand-letter the place cards and prop them against the little wire chairs.

Place a small bit of greenery from your favorite evergreen and a small piece of color coordinated ribboning, Viola...Christmas place card holders...
