How to Make DIY Faceted Easter Egg Place Card Holders
Step 1 – You’ll have to get a little creative on combining the clay colors to make the correct shades you want.
But once you have the perfect colors, you’ll start by making an egg-shaped ball of clay.
Step 2 – Make the egg shape a bit bigger than you want the final place card holder to be since you’re going to cut it down some to make it faceted.
Step 3 – Using the straight edge, slice off small sections starting at the top. Then, work your way down until you have faceted sides around the whole thing.
Step 4 – Next, place the shapes on a dedicated clay baking sheet.
Bake according to the manufacturer’s instructions for the one you’re using.
Step 5 – Once they’ve hardened, remove from the oven, let cool, and then style them!
