  10. Cut small pieces of the tissue box end to about 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch. (Any medium weight cardboard will do as you will not be able to see it.)
  11. Glue three of the quarter inch pieces together with white glue. Stick these pieces into the center of one side of your folded cardstock.
  12. Glue on your graphic that has already been prepped. Allow to dry and display proudly beside your food item.

Great idea to label food when you are hosting a party! Then I don't have to stand and explain what everything is! Thanks. :-)
