Instructions
Place card:
1. Adhere two pieces of the darkest lavender (DL) cardstock together to make one piece 3 ¾ x 5 ½” and fold in half so that piece is 3 ¾" x 2 ¾”.
2. Cut piece of lightest lavender (LL) cardstock 3 5/8" x 2 5/8”.
3. Cut piece of medium lavender (ML) cardstock 2 7/8 x 1 7/8” and stamp with floral stamp and watermark ink. Adhere this piece to the LL piece cut above.
4. Set up jewelry jig diagonally, following diagram #1 for the small rectangle design, using 22 gauge Amethyst. You will need to lift off the wire design & shift it over periodically so that you can create the design (which is larger than the jig).
5. Once the wire design is completed, remove from the jig and flatten with Nylon Jaw Pliers.
6. To attach wire frame, secure by making tiny holes through both layers with needle tool or pin (place on foam cushion to do this) in several places. Make ½” horseshoe shapes with 26 gauge matching wire. Insert these horseshoe shapes through the tiny holes around loops and secure by flattening open on the back of the cardstock (like a brad).
7. Attach the wired framed design with plenty of double-sided foam tape to the folded place card.
8. Hand write or use computer font to print out desired names on LL and attach to place card with double-sided foam tape.

Menu:
1. Cut piece of ML cardstock 4 3/8 x 5 3/8” and stamp with floral stamp and watermark ink.
2. Cut piece of DL cardstock slightly larger than ML from step one and adhere.
3. On LL cardstock, hand write or use computer font to print out desired menu within a 2 ½ x 3 ½” area. Cut this piece of LL cardstock to 3 5/8 x 4 5/8” and stamp with floral stamp and watermark ink.
4. Set up jewelry jig diagonally, following diagram #2 for the large rectangle design, using 22 gauge Amethyst. You will need to lift off the wire design & shift it over periodically so that you can create the design (which is larger than the jig).
5. Once the wire design is completed, remove from the jig and flatten with the Nylon Jaw Pliers.
6. To attach wire frame to the stamped LL cardstock, secure by making tiny holes through both layers with needle tool or pin (place on foam cushion to do this) in several places. Make ½” horseshoe shapes with 26 gauge matching wire. Insert these horseshoe shapes through the tiny holes around loops and secure by flattening open on the back of the cardstock (like a brad).
7. Attach the wired framed design with plenty of double-sided foam tape to the layers of DL and ML cardstock.
8. Attached desired stand to the back of the menu.

Napkin Ring:
1. Cut cardboard tube to desired size for napkin rings (you will want this slightly smaller than the paper width you will be covering it with.
2. Cut piece of ML cardstock 6 x 1 5/8”.
3. Cut piece of LL cardstock 6 x 1 3/8” and stamp with floral stamp and watermark ink. Adhere this piece to ML cardstock above.
4. Set up jewelry jig, following diagram #3 for the napkin ring design, using 22 gauge Amethyst. You will need to lift off the wire design & shift it over periodically so that you can create the design (which is larger than the jig).
5. Once the wire design is completed, remove from the jig and flatten with the Nylon Jaw Pliers.
6. To attach wire piece to the stamped cardstock strip, secure by making tiny holes through both layers with needle tool or pin (place on foam cushion to do this) in several places. Make ½” horseshoe shapes with 26 gauge matching wire. Insert these horseshoe shapes through the tiny holes around loops and secure by flattening open on the back of the cardstock (like a brad).
7. Attach the wired strip with plenty of Super Tape to the cardboard tube.
