Step 1
You will begin by flattening out the leaf. To do this, gently peel back and remove the plastic veins molded onto the back of the leaf. Then, you’ll be able to press the leaf completely flat, which will make it much easier to write on. 
Step 2
Use a paint marker to write your guest’s name across the leaf and then let it dry.

TIP: New to hand lettering? Great news! We’ve got a video that’ll show you the basics. Just click here to watch and learn. 
Step 3
Repeat to make a hand-lettered leaf for each guest. Place one leaf at each place setting and get ready to celebrate.
