Air dry clay trinket dish DIY

1. Shape the plate

-      Roll a 500g pack of clay into a 1cm thick sheet

-      Use the provided template to cut out a 22cm x 12cm oval

-      Using a clay tool, score a 1cm-wide border around the oval—this will help 
 attach the plate’s lip

2. Create the lip

-      Roll the remaining clay into a long, even coil

-      Place the coil on top of the scored border, wrapping it around the plate

-      Use a clay tool to blend the coil into the inside and outside of the plate

-      Smooth out the seams with a wet finger or brush

3. Add the design

-      Use the round-end clay tool to gently indent your design, referring to the template

-      Let the plate dry for 24-48 hours before painting

4. Paint the plate

-      Choose your colours

-      We applied Pastel Mushroom for the bottom; Pastel Eggshell Blue for the middle; Pastel Cantaloupe for the top; Pastel Marigold for the circle; Pastel Taupe for the lip

-      Once dry, apply a second coat for extra vibrancy

5. Add the final touches

-      Use the Sienna paint pen to draw the leaf design

-      Once fully dry, varnish the plate with the clay sealer
