Last Updated on March 3, 2022

Hello friends! You may remember that this time last year, I participated in the Knock Out Knock Off series with some of my very talented friends {click here to see my other knock off projects}! #knockoutknockoffs  Well, it’s that time again this year! Since May I have been participating in the Knock Out Knock Off series with a phenomenal group of talented bloggers. Each month, we have brought you knock off projects from some of your favorite retailers: Anthropologie, Land of Nod, and CB2. This month we are back for our final installment and are tackling one of my absolute favorite stores: Crate and Barrel. Buckle your seat belts….you are in for a treat!

As you know, we have been working on our dining room makeover {you can check out our progress so far here}. We are VERY close to being done, so I am already planning on hosting lots of dinners in the near future. That has me thinking about creating a beautiful tablescape and every beautiful tablescape needs the perfect place card holders, right?!

When I saw these wood slice place card holders at Crate and Barrel, I was instantly in love! And to tell you the truth, they are not expensive, BUT I had wood slices left over from my Anthropologie inspired stacked wood slice lamp so I decided to make my own. It's incredibly easy and much less expensive than the Crate and Barrel version.

Materials Needed for DIY Place Card Holders

• Wood slices {I ordered mine from Amazon–they are 1 inch thick and are 3 to 4 inches in diameter}
• Hand saw
• Clamping miter box {this is the exact clamping miter box we use–it is SO handy for so many different projects}

DIY Place Card Holder Tutorial

1) Clamp a wood slice in the center of your clamping miter box.

2) Use your hand saw to saw a shallow channel down the center of your wood slice.

3) Print and place your card holders in the channel. I printed mine on plain white card stock and cut them to size.

THAT'S IT! Seriously, that's the easiest DIY project I have ever tackled and I am absolutely in love with these place card holders.
