March DIY in a Box

Pictured instructions for those who have purchased the March DIY in a Box. You can purchase yours HERE!!!!

Additional Supplies Needed:

-X-Acto knife or kitchen knife

-oven safe bowl, dish, or ramekin

-rolling pin (or jar)

-cookie cutter, can, or lid for tracing circle

What To Do:

1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees

2. Roll out each ball of clay into two 5" 'snakes' (note: the colored clay will make skinner snakes than the gold and white clay)

3. Combine all the small snakes by twisting together, lots of twists!

4. Fold the now large snake in half, and in half again, then squish into a ball shape

5. Roll the clay ball around to smooth it out. Roll the ball enough to mix all the colors without blending them too much

6. Use rolling pin or glass jar to roll out and flatten the ball to about 1/4". Roll in different directions to help mix the clay colors

7. Use a 3"-6" cookie cutter, lid, or jar as a template for cutting the clay with an x-acto knife. Get creative with your shape!

8. Carefully place clay into an oven-safe bowl or ramekin so that the center of the clay will sag a bit, giving you a dish shape

*If you do not have an oven-safe dish: Bake the clay on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes. After

baking, immediately transfer to a shallow bowl and let it mold to

the shape of the bowl as it cools*

9. Bake the clay at 225 for 15 minutes

10. Let cool for about 10 minutes before removing clay from bowl

11. Once clay is completely cool, dip the tip of your foam brush into gold paint and 

paint the rim of the clay dish

12. If you want to add some shine, you can coat the dish with mod-podge or glaze

-Enjoy and show me your creations!!!

I used a small box, a scalloped cookie cutter, and a peanut can to create these shapes. Easy!

Happy crafting!!!! xoxo
