DIY VINTAGE HALLOWEEN PLACECARDS YOU CAN PRINT YOURSELF!!

Printable Halloween Place Cards I had a ton of fun today putting together these new printable Halloween decorations – despite the fact I’m coming down with a miserable cold. Although they are technically made as place cards, you could also use them as napkin holders, too.
