② Spray paint the Capiz shell using gold spray. Cover about 1/3 to 1/4 of the shell with masking tape, and spray gold on top. Make sure to press the masking tape firmly to prevent the spray from leaking!

To avoid dirtying your surroundings, do this on cardboard or newspaper.

Additionally, wiping the Capiz shell with a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover enhances its transparency, so for brides who want a more transparent look, it is recommended to wipe it with remover before spraying.＊

③ Once the gold spray is dry, trace the sample of the guest's name with the white marker, and you’re done! ＊

This was the basic method for making Capiz shell place cards.＊
