Place cards with flowers made from air-dry clay
When Anna and Clara invite their dear ones to festive occasions, the sisters always make a virtue out of the tableware, table-setting, and the seating plan. Do as the sisters and make your own neat place cards which the guests will love to bring home with them.
Roll out a lump of white air-dry clay until the clay has a thickness of approximately 0.5-0.7 cm.
Cut out hearts in the clay with a heart-shaped cookie cutter.
Prick a hole in the clay using the end of a straw and stamp the names of your guests while the clay is still moist. Let the hearts with names dry.
Apply a thin layer of decoupage glue on top of the dried heart place cards, sprinkle some dried flowers onto the hearts, and then also dab a little extra decoupage glue on top of the flowers to fasten them. Let it dry.
Optionally, you can now choose to paint the stamped letters with acrylic paint or water colour.
Choose a lovely ribbon or cord, lead it through the hole in the place card, and then tie it around a napkin. Follow the same process with all the heart place cards until you have one for each guest.
