May 7, 2012

Spring is here and lemons are the freshest way to not only eat this season, but also decorate with. Keep reading to see four ways to use a lemon as a place setting for your Mother’s Day or other spring/summer event…

Use a knife to gently cut a slit down the middle of a lemon

Carefully write the name of each guest on a piece of cardstock paper and place in the slit of each lemon

Wrap each lemon with bakers twice and place a small flower inside

Take a fancy toothpick and wrap piece of ribbon around the top to make a smal flag. You can also write the guests name on the flag if you’d like.

Wrap some bias tape around a lemon and secure with a pin.

Wrap around the other side. Place two pins to secure.

Place the wrapped lemon on your napkin with a name tag under each one.
