First, take the little brown cups off of the Rochers.  You could leave them on,  but you’ll see them under the tissue paper and they kinda mess up the shape.

Cut a square of tissue paper about 6” by 6”. Exact measurements are not needed here as you will trim it later.

Place the Chocolate in the middle.

Then take the green floral wire and, using the wire cutters (Not your scissors. Please don’t do this to your scissors) cut it in half to a length of about 7 inches.

Wrap the wire around the pencil leaving about an inch of straight wire at the bottom.

Take the two first loops and squish them together tight to make the place card holder. You’ll need to twist it a bit so the place card will sit up straight.

Insert the flat end of the wire in the middle of the chocolate and bunch the tissue paper around it.

Use a double knot on the twine to hold the tissue paper in place. Cut the excess twine and tissue paper.

Open the free place card PDF in Adobe Reader, type in all the names, and print it on colored cardstock. I used a Kraft colored cardstock for these pictures.

Cut and insert the place card on top of the wire.
