Clay

 

 

Clay day

 

March 1 2016

 

Having some time to sit and squeeze a lump of clay can calm the most stressed person (the difficulty lies in trying to get them to sit down in the first place :0).

We were making Easter decorations and Happy Birthday labels.

 



 

 

We rolled out the clay about three quarters of a cm thick to make them easier to handle. If the clay is too thin it will most certainly stick to the table and that is something you want to avoid. we then used cookie dough cutters to cut out the shapes and leave them to dry.

 



These stars will become Happy Birthday labels to hang onto birthday gifts.

Happy Easter rounds.
They will take a couple of days to dry properly. After a day or so when they look dry turn them over and they will dry a little quicker on the reverse side.

When they are completely dry its time to decorate. really looking forward to that bit. Think I will use both sharpies and paint. Please see late post for finished result.
