Essentially, you take some air dry clay and roll it out into a thin layer. I placed the clay in between 2 sheets of wax paper so that my rolling pin wouldn’t get too dirty. I still need it to make baked goods with it after all!
Next, I stamped an ornate design all over the clay to create a pattern. As you may have noticed, I pressed a bit too hard on the first try, and the stamp stuck to the clay quite a bit.
Next, I traced the outline of a bowl on the clay with a knife, cut out a circle, and placed the clay inside the bowl. I made sure to press the clay to the bottom of the bowl so that it would form a nice shape when it hardened. The fluting of the edges wasn’t in the original instructions, but I thought they added a bit of pizzazz.
Gold trim + painting on the outside of the bowls: more pizzazz! The edges were a bit uneven, so I sanded down the edges before painting them with a shimmery gold color. Unfortunately, I used cheap ink to stamp the clay, which explains the color bleeding in the design. These bowls took about 2 days to dry completely, so make sure to budget time for that!
