If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to add a touch of handmade elegance to your dinner party or wedding, these "Love Bird" place cards are the perfect project. These charming paper birds perch right on the rim of a wineglass, greeting your guests with a personalized touch.


🛠️ You Will Need

Gather these supplies to get started:

  • A4 Medium-weight card

  • A4 Patterned paper (The example features Tsuru paper from AllFullOfLove on Etsy)

  • Glue and Spray Adhesive

  • Calligraphy Pen

  • Scissors


✂️ Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Cardstock

Using spray adhesive, stick your chosen patterned paper onto the cardstock.

  • For the wings: Stick paper to one side only.

  • For the body: Stick paper to both sides so the bird looks beautiful from every angle.

2. Cut Out the Shapes

Using the provided templates, enlarge the shapes and trace them onto your prepared cardstock. Carefully cut out:

  • One body per guest.

  • One wing per guest.

3. Personalize and Assemble

Write your guest's name on the wing using a calligraphy pen. Apply a small amount of glue to the bottom of the wing and attach it to the body. For a bit of visual texture, lightly bend the wings outward.

4. Display

Once the glue is dry, simply perch the bird onto the edge of a wineglass for a stunning table display!
