How to Make DIY Pumpkin Placecard Holders
Supplies for Fall Wedding Favors
- Small faux pumpkin picks (approximately 4″ in size)
- Natural colored paper raffia
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Floral wire (we used gold)
- Tape
- Ribbon (we used satin that was 1.5″ wide)
- Circular guide for wire (we used a paint bottle)

Instructions for Wedding Placecard Holders
- Create a braid out of raffia. The braid can be either one very long braid or composed of several smaller braids. Taping the end to a tabletop makes braiding easier.
- Remove the pumpkin stems if applicable.

- Wrap the braided raffia around the pumpkin.ย Work fromย top to bottom, and glue the strands in place as you go. It’s normal for the strands to overlap, so that’s ok.
- Doย not cover the entire left side of the stem, as you’ll be using it later for your pumpkin placecard holder.

- Form the wire for the card holder by using a circular item as a guide.
- Wrap the wire around the cap twice. Doing so will create a perfect circle to hold your name card. You can make the wire as short or long as you’d like.

- Once the pumpkin is covered and the glue is dry, glue the circular wire into the hole left by the stem.
- Cut a piece of ribbon, tie your ribbon into a bow, and glue it into place. Feel free to use it to help hide any glue or the base of the wire.

- Use placecards or a small piece of decorative paperย andย write the name of a wedding guestย on it.
- Then insert the name card and put it on your place setting. So cute!
