These cheese label holders are designed using a real cork, and are the perfect pairing for a Winery Styled Engagement Party. They’re a great way to let your guests know the names of the delicious cheeses and appetizers you’re serving up, and also make great place card holders. You can also use them with photographs, for an engaging display.
Carefully score the side of each cork, using the sharp knife or small handsaw. You’ll want to create a groove about 1/4″ deep.
Use the tip of the screwdriver to create a hole at one end of the cork. Rotate the screwdriver to widen the hole to desired size.
Add a drop of hot glue to the hole, and insert one of the flowers into it. Hold in place until the glue has cooled and set, about 30 seconds.
Using a black pen, write the name of the cheese or appetizer you will be displaying on one of the white card stock rectangles. Be sure to leave a margin of 1/2″ from the left, so that the writing will not be obscured when inserted into the cork.
Insert the card stock paper into the side of the cork where you created the vertical groove. The cork and label will now stand on their own. Display each label next to the cheese or appetizer that corresponds with the label. Don’t forget to pair with your favorite wine or party beverages! When the party is finished, just remove the paper labels and throw away, the corks can be saved for future use again and again.
These are perfect for a Winery Styled Engagement Party, Pancetta and Arugula Flatbread, and easy-to-create DIY Hand Lettered Chalkboard Table Runner.
