How to make

Step 1

With your brush, mix the gold ink with a colour that fits your colour theme. Here, we're using black.

Step 2

Create random strokes on the canvas using the colour you've just mixed.

Step 3

Once it dries, cut it up into squares of 10 x 10 cm and fold them in half.

Step 4

With your paintbrush, brush some ink onto the nib provided in the Modern Calligraphy kit.

Step 5

With the same ink mixture, create your place cards on the wooden slices.
