diy bhldn pegged leg place card holders

I've always been drawn to the moulding section in our local hardware store.  All the pretty scrolling woodwork and corbels is way more interesting to look at then nuts and bolts.  Although I've seen some fun things to do with those lately, like these bracelets, so perhaps I'll be visiting that aisle soon.  Anyway, I've spent some time looking at spindles and sofa buns so when I saw these place card holders on BHLDN I saw an easy DIY.  All you need is a variety of spindles and a jig saw (I'm sure my Husband will be correcting me on that one).



You can find spindles at the hardware store, or purchase a variety of shapes and sizes online.  Check out Architectural Depot or search your local craigslist for wood stairwell spindles and cut to size.

Oooh, I love these. Why does BHLDN and, for that matter, Anthro have to be so expensive, especially when it seems so easy to do everything they do cheaper. (Well, I mean, a less lazy person than I could do it cheaper.)
