So the saying goes, 'a photo tells a thousand words'. Turn your party table into a gallery of memories with D.I.Y. picture place cards by having your guests take Polaroid photos when they arrive, then display them in these handmade holders.
These party place cards can then become cherished keepsakes that guests can take home.
Tip: Always wear the appropriate safety equipment (safety glasses, gloves, ear muffs and a mask, for example) and always follow the instructions for the product or equipment.
Wash pebbles and leave to dry. With a pebble in one hand, use your thumb to hold 20 gauge copper wire against the middle of the pebble.
Wind copper wire around the pebble three times, tucking the start of the wire under the loops. Using pliers, cut a wire tail 200mm long. Thread tail under the loops, then twist the wires together.
With the pebble in one hand, use your fingers to stretch out the wire tail so the coils are not as tight but form a wavy line extending above the pebble. Fashion the end of the wire into a coil shape, then insert the photo. Repeat the steps to make more party place cards.
Take care when using copper wire, as cut ends can be sharp, and keep out of reach of children and pets.
People love to capture special moments, and our D.I.Y. photo stand is the perfect addition to your next celebration.

Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
When following our advice in our D.I.Y. videos, make sure you use all equipment, including PPE, safely by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check that the equipment is suitable for the task and that PPE fits properly. If you are unsure, hire an expert to do the job or talk to a Bunnings Team Member.
