August 27, 2014 ·

These little holders can be used for table numbers, photos, cards, invitations, place cards, post-it notes, and more! Little ones would be a really beautiful way to hold your seating placements actually. I think I like these best when used to display special little notes and cards.

    Materials

  • Polymer clay //
  • Knife //
  • Copper spray paint //
  • Painter’s tape //

1. Take your polymer clay and roll it into a ball.

2. Take your knife and use it to create any shape you want. For the first one, I just took little sections off of the ball for a faceted shape. For the others, I made triangles of different sizes and hexagons (including a lop-sided hexagon that I quite like). clay13. Once your shape is cut, use the knife to slice a small sliver at the top. This is where the photo/card will go into so test the depth with a photo to make sure it is sufficient.

4. Bake the clay according to instructions. For my clay, I baked it 30 minutes at 275 degrees. Once the clay is done baking, let the clay dry for about 30 minutes.

Every birthday or event she immediately sends you a thank you card for- she is so thoughtful. One time I was in Utah and went to my niece’s birthday party and two days later when I got home, I had a thank you card waiting for me. It was incredible. And these holders are perfect for showing off her endless adorable cards!
