Fork, knife and spoon

I spied...these placemats at Anthro...have you?

I did love them too, but I didn't get them...
I thought about it, then I thought, hmmmmm, I could probably make
my own!


I had some white, super heavyweight 9 x 12 construction paper
 from Hobby Lobby ~ $1.77 for 50/sheets


Then I went to The Graphics Fairy and she had this and this
and made my own version of Fine Dining Placemats.


I couldn't find a dinner plate image

but, I do like the oval frame - it makes mine different than their's! 


Anthro's paper placemats are 50 for $24.00
 My version is 50 for $1.77!


I'm also thinking about personalizing the center ~
with Happy Birthday's, or some ones name..
for those fancy, Fine Dining occasions that happen so often here!  *wink*


I'm joining these parties today!

  7. I was going to buy them also, but then realized that they would only look good on a table if you were having a buffet, because once you cover them up with plate and utensil, you can't notice the design!! Love how yours turned out
