Clay Hanger
by Mojca Perdih
Stamp and color clay to create tile decor.
Supplies
- Air Drying Clay
- Clay Tools
- Image Stamp
- Straw
- Watercolor Paints
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Roll out the clay till it's really smooth (you have to be careful that it is not too thin (around 1/4" or 1/2 - 1 cm)
-
Step 2
Cut out the shape with your clay tools.
-
Step 3
Press stamp uninked into the clay.
Hint:
Be careful not to press to hard or too soft, but just something between. If you get any traces on the clay that you don’t want just gently rub them with you finger and some water ...but be gentle, any strong pressure will show on the surface. -
Step 4
Use a straw to make holes for the ribbon. Let it dry (at least 5 to 7 days but it depends on the temperature in the room).
-
Step 5
When it is completely dry color the picture and add ribbon. Watercolor paints were used here to color the image.

just check all of their wonderful stamps for every occasion. I just love them all
I love this project! I saw a tip for keeping crusts even when rolling them out. I thought it might work for rolling clay. cut 2 lengths of 1/4" wood 6-12 inches long and use that as a guide for your roller. when your roller runs along the wood your clay is 1/4 inch thick.
Dolores Murphy ... the watercolour paints are Pearlescent Watercolors

Colleen Hapchuck ... I haven't tried to use any other clay ... but I think that it would work with all air drying clays al well.
