Impossible Wedding Place Card

Believe it or not this seemingly impossible thing is made out of only one piece of card, and requires no gluing.

It is actually quite hard to make a place card stand up if you just use a strip of card folded in half, as anyone who has ever been to a conference will testify.

Step 1: Start With a Square of Card

Mark out the square of card s above. I have drawn this in thick pen so that it shows up in the photo.

Step 2: Start With a Square of Card.

Step 3: Folding - This Is the Tricky Bit to Explain

Step 4: Now Decorate.
