How to make a clay ring dish

How to make a clay ring dish

What do you need:

• Air dry clay
• Acrylic craft paint
• Tea cup
• Rolling pin
• Permanent markers
• Clear acrylic spray
• Paintbrush
• Pencil

Step 1

I started with two small circles of air dry clay on my work surface. You can use just about anything as your template. Roll out with a rolling pin.

Step 2

After I rolled them out, I smoothed the edges with water and my finger. Then I gently pressed each clay ring dish in a small tea cup to dry overnight.

Step 3

Once dry, I outlined some simple floral patterns on top of the clay.

Step 4

Paint in layers, stopping after every color to let each layer dry. This will help avoid mixing paint colors. Then I went back and added some details with permanent markers.

Step 5

Finally, I gave both sides a coat of clear acrylic spray paint. The spray paint will keep the colors in place and prevent any dirty smudges on the white clay.
