Step
1

Gently push individual Small Grass Balls down into empty Ceramic Mini Flowerpots. They should stay in place on their own if you push them far enough down into the pots, but feel free to use a bit of hot glue in case you need added adhesive.

Gather a handful of cut live branches or twigs from your yard. Squeeze a line of Aleene’s® Original Tacky Glue® down the top side of each branch, and then gently press each of the placecards on top. Hold in place for 30 seconds before moving on to the next one, and allow all of the placecards to dry on their branches for 30 minutes before handling.

Finally, gently push the branch ends down into each of the flowerpots, situating the branches between the grass balls and the sides of the ceramic containers. Finish by placing them off to the side of each DIY Leafy Burlap Place Setting at your luncheon!
