Instructions for Bucherie Menu

This template is really versatile. With Microsoft® Powerpoint®, it’s easy to move around the image and text boxes to suit your project. Use photos of your family with descriptions of what they’re up to for your Christmas letters!

To make the template, I created and centered 3 image boxes with correlating text boxes. I used copy and paste to make sure they would all be the same sizes. For the monogram/logo, I used 3 separate boxes so I could arrange it in a stylized way. I created the template sized 8.5 x 11 so you could easily add more if needed. I cut this one down to 5.5 x 5.5 and rounded the corners with a punch.

There are many ways to get the animal silhouettes used on the menu: use clip art or you can find a jpg image that you like. You can even find a regular picture of an animal and use a simple program like paint to fill it in. Save in jpg or bmp format. Click on the image box and choose insert image (either from clip art or file) and select the image you want to use. Once inserted, you can make any appropriate changes (cropping, expanding, lightening/darkening, etc.) using the picture toolbar. You can also click on the box and move it to any position you like.

I love fonts, so I am always looking for great styles to mix and match. You can change the font, size, color in these boxes by highlighting the portion you wish to change and switch in the toolbars at the top. These can also be moved to any position.

The ‘blanc’ and ‘rouge’ hang tags for the wine bottles can be created using Martha’s Cupcake and Coaster templates if you like a little pattern and flourish. Mine were done in Powerpoint® and cut out with a 2 5/16” punch. Make sure you place your words far enough to accommodate whatever punch you use. I also punched out circles on black cardstock and wrote names in chalk for special place cards.

My goal with the pieces was to make them look rich and sophisticated while being rather minimalist. You can take it as far as you want-it’s so simple!
