I always joke that my only vice is salt. I rarely drink, I definitely don’t smoke, but extra salt on anything and everything? Guilty as charged. Though there’s absolutely nothing wrong with good ol’ table salt, I have to admit that on the right dish, a dash of rosemary sea salt goes a VERY long way. I recently filled these adorable little dollar store jars with homemade* sea salt, tied on a wee canvas tag and used them as place settings at a dinner party (which you can see right here!) Not only did they add a little somethin’ somethin’ to my table, but my guests got to take them home when they left. A place card AND favor DIY in one? That’s something I think we can all agree upon. With photos from my darling Heidi Lau, read on for the steps!
*I admitedly use the term homemade lightly. I’m not sure if tossing two things together consists of homemade status, but let’s run with it
:: 1 cup coarse sea salt
:: 3 Tbsp. rosemary leaves
:: Small clear glass jars (I picked mine up at the dollar store!)
:: Thin ribbon or twine
:: Canvas tags (I picked mine up at Michael’s!)
:: Graphite pencil or paint pen
|STEP 1|
In a bowl, mix together your sea salt and rosemary leaves.
|STEP 2|
Fill each jar with your rosemary sea salt mixture.
|STEP 3|
In your prettiest penmanship, write the name of each guest on the canvas tag (if you’re using a graphite pencil, just be careful not to smudge it).
|STEP 4|
Tie the tag to the jar and place at each setting!
