### Step-by-Step Guide to Making Personalized Christmas Name Place Tags

#### 1. **Choose Your Clip Art Designs**

The first step is to select the perfect clip art from the *Sweet Love Digital Clip Art Kit*. You can choose designs that fit your Christmas theme or the vibe of your dinner.

You can either use a single design per name place or combine several elements for a layered, more personalized effect.

#### 2. **Set Up Your Name Place Design**

**Option 1: Using Canva (Free and Easy)**

1. **Open Canva:** If you don’t have a Canva account, create a free one. It's a fantastic tool for beginners and has a ton of free features.

2. **Create a New Design:** Select “Custom Dimensions” and enter a size suitable for name place tags. A common size is 3.5 x 2 inches (business card size), but feel free to adjust it to your liking.

3. **Upload Your Clip Art:** Upload the clip art images you want to use from the *Sweet Love Digital Clip Art Kit*. Arrange them however you like—consider placing an image in the corner, or as a border around the name.

4. **Add Your Guest Names:** Use the text tool to create a text box and add the name of each guest. You can adjust the font, size, and color to match your theme. Consider using a festive, elegant font for the names (like a script or calligraphy style) for a special touch.

5. **Customize the Layout and Colors:** Adjust the colors of the clip art and text to complement your dinner’s theme. If your table settings feature red and green, for example, adjust the clip art or text colors to reflect that.

6. **Save and Download:** Once you’re happy with your design, save the file and download it as a high-quality PDF or PNG. This format ensures that the images remain sharp when printed.

**Option 2: Using Microsoft Word (Simple and Quick)**

1. **Open a New Document:** Start a new document in Microsoft Word and set the page dimensions to match your name place tags (3.5 x 2 inches). You can also print multiple tags on one page if you prefer.

2. **Insert Clip Art:** Go to “Insert” > “Pictures” and select your clip art from the *Sweet Love Kit*. Position the clip art on the page where it best fits.

3. **Add Guest Names:** Insert a text box and write the guest’s name. You can adjust the font size, style, and color to match your Christmas theme.

4. **Customize the Design:** You can add additional text, such as “Merry Christmas” or “Welcome!” if you like. Ensure the overall design is balanced and there’s enough space around the name for a clean look.

5. **Print the Tags:** Print your design on your chosen cardstock Once your design is ready.

#### 3. **Cut Out Your Name Place Tags**

After printing, carefully cut out each name place tag. Use scissors or a paper cutter to ensure straight, clean edges. If you’ve printed multiple tags on one page, cut each individually.

#### 4. **Add Decorative Touches (Optional)**

If you want to make your name place tags extra special, you can add a few additional elements:

- **Glitter:** Add a little glitter around the clip art or text to make your tags sparkle.

- **Stickers or Stamps:** Use holiday-themed stickers (like snowflakes, stars, or holly) or rubber stamps to add extra decoration to the tags.

- **Handwritten Touch:** Consider writing a personalized note or greeting on the back of the name place tag for an added personal touch.

#### 5. **Tie the Name Places to Your Table Setting**

You can use twine, ribbon, or string to attach the name place tags to your table setting. Here are a few ideas:

- **Napkin Rings:** Tie the name place tags around napkins with a festive ribbon or twine for a rustic look.

- **Glassware:** If you have wine glasses or mugs at each place setting, tie the name place tags around the stem or handle.

- **Place Setting Holders:** Use small stands to hold the names placed upright on the table.

If you’re using twine or ribbon, punch a small hole at the top of the name place tag before threading the ribbon through.

### Tips for Creating Beautiful Christmas Name Place Tags

- **Use Matching Colors:** Ensure that the colors of the clip art, text, and overall design match the color scheme of your table setting. If your table has gold accents, consider using gold-colored clip art or text to tie everything together.

- **Print Extra Tags:** It’s always a good idea to print a few extra name place tags just in case you have unexpected guests or need to make last-minute changes.

- **Get Creative with Shapes:** Instead of the standard rectangle, experiment with different shapes for your name tags. You could make them round, star-shaped, or even cut them into the shape of a Christmas tree or heart for added flair.

- **Personalize for Each Guest:** If you’re feeling extra creative, you can add a small personalized message on each name place, like a quote or a memory shared with that guest. It’s a lovely way to make each person feel appreciated and special.
