DIY Clay Ribbon Place Cards

DIY Clay Ribbon Place Cards for Thanksgiving | Club Crafted

DIY Clay Ribbon Place Cards for Thanksgiving | Club Crafted

I’m resisting all my urges to deck out the entire house for Christmas…mostly because Andrew keeps reminding me that Thanksgiving comes first! Well, Thanksgiving can be fun (but I’m a Christmas girl, ha!) so I wanted to share at least a couple ideas for decorating for Thanksgiving this year, including the pumpkin and balloon centerpiece earlier this week. These DIY clay ribbon place cards were a great addition to that tablescape! Would you believe I actually made the first set of these a year ago and never posted them?! This time of year get’s so crazy, but I still wanted to share this simple place card DIY using stamps to emboss the clay and create a 3D ribbon appearance using a cutter you can find in the clay aisle of your local craft store.

Of course, I don’t actually set my table for Oliver and Penny (my cats) but I wanted to add more names to our table, so there you have it, ha! These 3D style ribbon place cards remind me of how we draw ribbons in handlettering. When I saw the ribbon end cutter at JOANN over a year ago, this was the first project I thought of making. Admittedly, it has me wondering if I can make a cute set of 3D cookies with them. 

Whether you’re hosting a small or large dinner party or Thanksgiving dinner event, you can easily make only two or make over 20 of these clay ribbon place cards in very little time. At the end of the party, guests can take home their name for displaying, or you can store them for future parties because this oven-baked clay will last forever!

Step 2: Cut out two ribbon end shapes out of the clay.

Step 3: Arrange the letters for each name, and press into the clay until clearly visible. Then cut the strip of clay so that the height is larger than the name.

Step 4: Lightly press the name piece on top of the ribbon ends with an equal amount on either side, leaving space above it to make it appear like a ribbon.

Step 5: Bake according to the package instructions until clay is stiff. Let cool, and they’re ready to display!

Place one on each plate to let guests know where to sit, and they can take them home after the dinner event! Whether you use them for Thanksgiving or just any party, they’ll add a pop of color to your table too!

PS, I do love this clay embossing method! See my conversation heart keychains for another way to use it.

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
