The most wonderful time of the year is almost here! So that means it’s time to start planning out all our favorite Christmas festivities!

Peppermint Place Card Holder
Supplies:
– Air-dry Clay (white)
– Acrylic Paint (I used red, pink, lilac, mint and green)
– Paint Brush
– Glitter
– Clear Acrylic Varnish
– Knife or Straight Blade
Instructions:
1.) Knead the clay into a 3/4″ cylinder.
2.) Take your blade and cut a straight piece off the bottom of the clay. This will give the “peppermint” a platform to sit on.
3.) Take your blade and slice a line into the top of the cylinder. This cut will hold the cards in place.
4.) Allow clay to dry completely. (I allowed it to dry over night)
5.) Take your paint and paint a pin-wheel pattern on the front and back of your cylinder. If you used white clay, you will not need to paint in the white between the colors. Allow paint to dry completely.
6.) Combine a small amount of glitter and acrylic varnish by mixing them together. Once glitter is fully incorporated, paint over the peppermint to add a nice sparkly touch. Allow varnish to dry completely.
7.) Print out name place cards, insert them into the cut on top of the peppermint and you are good to go!
