Oracle SQL Creating Copy of Table Using DBMS_metadata

so I am trying to create a copy of a table using dbms_metadata. I know you can get the DDL of a table by executing DBMS_METADATA.get_DDL('Table','TABLENAME') so my question now is how can I use this to create a new identical table?

I know you can easily create a copy of a table with create table t1 select * from table2; etc. So how can I make use of dbms_metadata to create a new identical table? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
