If calligraphing the names and numbers, do so after the chairs are formed. If printing, do so before cutting the paper. The name goes on the panel for the back, and the table number on the panel for the seat.
1. To form each paper chair, you will need one 11-by-2 1/4-inch strip of card stock; you can fit 3 on an 8 1/2-by-11-inch sheet. Use a bone folder to score each strip into 4 sections: a top one that's 4 1/4 inches long, then 3 equal 2 1/8-inch sections.
2. Fold the strip at the top score line; the short section of the L will be the chair's back.
3. Bring the horizontal part of the strip down as shown, and fold at the next score line, forming the chair back and starting the seat.
4. Fold the strip down at the front of the seat to make the front legs. Use a glue stick or double-sided tape to secure the 2 layers of the chair back together. Set right-side up, and trim, if necessary.
Does anyone have a template that they would be willing to share to print these chairs? Thanks so much!
I figured out how to print these off the computer. I can then type in all the information and even add a cute design if I desire. It can be alot of work, but the template I created for myself works out perfect for just the name and the table number.
Anyone know how to print these out instead of hand writing them? Is there a template around?
how can I print these on a computer?
these are sooo cute. I can't wait to try and make them! I like the sand idea to anchor them.
You can place them in a large tray that has an even layer of decorative sand, or mini Jelly Beans or seeds, anything related to your wedding theme and colour.
how can i make these and anchor them? i don't want to have them all fall over as people are reaching for their name
