For a sushi soiree or Thai-inspired dinner party, these stones are not only chopsticks rests, but unique place cards -- and they're reusable, too.
What You'll Need
- Smooth black rocks (available at a craft store or dollar store, in the floral department)
- Letter stickers or rub-on transfers (available at a craft or dollar store)
Directions
1. Make sure stones are clean and dry.
2. Using a penny or pencil, apply rub-on transfer letter or letter sticker to stone in the name of each guest.
3. Position the letter slightly off-centre so it's visible when you rest the chopsticks on top.
4. Place stone on a bamboo placemat and add an Asian-style napkin to complete the look.
Tip: To reuse stones, use an erase to remove the rub-on transfer or gently peel off sticker, being careful not to scratch the stone. Wash, dry, and it's ready for your next party!
