Use the wire cutters to cut 12” of the 20 gauge copper wire.  Fold the wire in half.  Hold the loop with the pliers and twist the wire ends together.

Roll the loop into a spiral.

Tear off a 6”x18” or 12”x12” piece of aluminum foil and wad into a ball.

Roll the olive Makin’s Clay® down to a #4 setting using the Ultimate Clay Machine®.  Cover the aluminum ball with the olive clay sheet.

Insert the twisted wire into the ball.

Marble equal parts of merlot and straw clay and immediately press it into the oak leaf of the Leaves Push Mold.  Scrape the clay from around the edges of the leaf.  Smooth the edges once the clay is released from the mold.   Repeat this step with brown and straw clay and then again with plum wine and straw clay.

You should have at least three leaves.

Arrange the leaves around the base of the place card holder.

Insert a place card into the wire.  Now you are ready to add these beautiful place card holders to your table to impress your guests!
