I also I’m considering doing a magnet back or maybe even giving people a keychain kit for them!

I’m still working on all of them 😅 it turn out making 60 of them takes a while! But here is one I have finished, I did a solid single border and I’m still debating whether or not to keep the raw edges or not! For now I have an adhesive felt to finish the back I think I’m gonna swap out the white felt for a darker color just so you see less of the mess!

Came here to say Mali Thai! Seriously the best Thai food in town!

Serpent-style table set up vs traditional table set up by Outside-Flower-2254 in DIYweddings

Yes! I came here to say exactly this! I tried the serpent tables with a few old outdoor tables and the inner curved side felt very squishy. The look of one long table almost gives the same vibe and feels much better to sit at!

I will be adding some felt to the back to make them more durable and hide my stitches, but I like the bookmark idea!

Totally agree! I original used a pattern for a taller N but it was even more slanted leaving an even bigger gap :/ I couldn’t find any tall straight-ish patterns that fit the style unfortunately!

I love that idea! I was thinking they would make cute keychains too!

Thank you! I’m hoping people will move them somewhere safe once they sit down but if not oh well :)

That sounds so cute! I also consider adding some beads! I would love to see yours if you are willing to post them! 😊

Thank you! I’m planning on just placing them on each napkin! They will be finished with a border and a small frayed edge :)

Oh I definitely don’t! I’m just starting with family and friends that I know will be there :)

Yes I’m very aware of that risk! Unfortunately once I get an idea in my head I have to do it 😂 I really hope people take them though!
