Table Number/Name Holders

Hello

I've been searching google and ebay, but the problem is.. I'm not really sure what to search for. I've searched for table name holders, but I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Here's what I'm after..

I'm basically looking for something that would be long enough to stick out the top of my flowers to hold the table name, but I'm not sure what they are called or what to search for! I'm only looking for something simple.. or even ideas on how I could make my own might be better?

Any ideas/help would be great! :)

    What about those things that get stuck in baskets of flowers to hold the little card? You could spray them to your colour scheme if you can only get white plastic? Sorry I can't see your photo (at work) so not sure if this is the sort of thing.

    That's a great idea, exactly what I'm looking for, I never thought of that.. I bet they will be fairly cheap to get hold of too. Thanks :) x

    Now I can see your piccie - strange! lol

    You can always make your own if you know a handy (wo)man! Get some strongish rigid wire and twist! :grin:

    On a similar note - how do you anchor helium balloons to the centre of the table? I was thinking of pinning them inside the flower arrangement?

    Gorgeous website, but expensive :)

    If you are making them yourself then there is no need for the number to 'clip' into the holder.

    you could get some stiff wire (floristry wire should do it...or take a trip to a diy store) and then sandwich the wire at the top between 2 pieces of card with your table number on them.
    The other end of the wire can then be pushed into the flowers :)

    Would be a very easy way of creating the look you want

    I was going to make these - taken from Martha Stewart's website I bet you can easily adapt them to make the above.

    i'm just putting my table numbers/names onto my wine (covering the label)
