How to Make Faceted DIY Easter Egg Place Card Holders
1 — Mix and shape the clay: Get creative with your polymer clay colors by mixing shades until you achieve the perfect tones for your Easter table. Once you have the colors you love, roll the clay into an egg-shaped ball slightly larger than your desired final size. Since you’ll be slicing the clay to create the faceted look, make sure your egg shape is a bit larger than the final size you want. This gives you enough material to work with when shaping the design.
2 — Create the faceted sides: Using a straight-edge blade, carefully slice off small sections starting from the top of the egg and working your way down. Continue cutting at different angles to create faceted edges all around the egg.
3 — Bake the clay: Place the faceted eggs on a dedicated clay baking sheet and bake according to the manufacturer’s instructions for your polymer clay type. Be sure to follow the recommended temperature and baking time for best results.
4 — Cool and style: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the eggs cool completely before handling. Now they’re ready to be styled as place card holders for your Easter table!
