DIY Botanical-Imprinted Clay Jewelry Dishes
Enjoy this fun summer children's craft project with your littlest of hands!
You Will Need
- fresh or dried botanicals
- a block of white polymer clay
- oven
- acrylic paint
- small tipped paint brush
- Mod Podge
- foam brush
My favorite crafting supplies and tools can be found on my Homeschool & Craft Amazon page.
To Make
- Gather your favorite botanicals. Those with firm petals and stems work best.
- On a flat, clean surface, mold the white polymer clay into the size and shape you desire. (4"-5" is a good diameter for round jewelry dishes.)
- Press lavender sprigs into the clay in interesting curves.
- Bake them in the oven at 175 degrees F for 15 min. Let cool completely.
- Paint the imprint with acrylic paint. Let dry completely, a minimum 1 hour.
- Cover with two coats of Mod Podge using a disposable foam brush, letting each coat dry for a minimum 1 hour.
