Cardholders can take a big chunk of your wedding budget, especially if you need one for every seat. Most places want about $2 each for a cardholder. Well, now you can do it yourself and create an elegant holder for under 10 cents! All you have to do is repurpose a traditional tea light. Most stores sell bags of 100 for about a dollar. Check out your local dollar store or discount department stores for the best deals. This idea will also work to display pictures at your wedding.
Step 1:
First, you will need a traditional tea light candle. Keep in mind that you will need a tea light that is in the metal container. The plastic containers will not work. Remove the candle from the container by pulling the candle out by the wick.
Step 2:
Next, you will need to take a pair of tin snips and cut the metal holder of the candle. Make a cut from the top to the bottom on each side. Make sure the sides are cut parallel to each other.
Step 3:
Now gently fold the tea light container in half until the sides meet.
Step 4:
Flatten out any wrinkles you have made and place the place card or picture in the middle
