Have you seen these paper holder thingies??

Lisa50 · November 2010

LOL! I don't know what you call them -- table number holders?? Anyhoo, I really like them. If you've seen anything similar (it looks like a person with a hat, I think), please let me know.

Thanks!

Those are absolutely adorable. I have no idea where you could get those, sorry. I've always loved antique fork placecard holders though.... they're also a in the same sort of whimsical metal category, yeah?

Ah ha! <strong>Cowboy with a lasso.</strong> Good eye! I kept thinking it looks like some getup a friend of mine (who owns a ranch) would wear. And of course, now that you've written that it is obvious. LOL! Thank you very much ... for the answer <u>and</u> for keeping an eye out.

Oh my goodness! How cute are those?? What a delightful idea. I have visions of impaling myself, if not on the needle-nosed pliers on the forks themselves, if I were to take on this kind of project. I'm sure there is someone who gets paid to do stuff like this (and take on the danger ... hee hee).

I like the recyclart website. I foresee much lusting over there. Thank you, thank you!

Those forks are SO Cool!! And what an easy project-- Maybe even just for displaying the names of foods on your food table (if you didn't want to go all out for each guest) -- But what a neat party favor, and it would cost you next to NOTHING if you got all of your forks at good will!! .... I think I have a new favorite DIY project that I'm going to start!

You're braver than I. I can just see hurting myself trying to get that done. Heck, I cut myself when I slice tomatoes ... LOL! If you decide to do it, please post pics. I'd love to see them.

That's definitely a cowboy or girl with a lasso! If you know anybody in Nashville or Texas, you might want to ask them to keep their eyes open in the shops, there.

Oh, and a lot of sellers do seem to call those things "place card holders." (In case that helps you search for them.)

Done & Done!!!

I posted pics
