Print Project

Step 1

Soften clay in your hand and mix to create new tones if desired.
TIP: Make your project on a piece of scrap paper so you can prevent paint from getting on your table. It also makes it easy to move it to let it dry overnight.

Step 2

Form your clay into a rectangle (or a circle) shape. Pinch the clay on the sides to form into a dish. Use your finger to smooth out the surface.

Step 3

Paint the dish and let dry.

Step 4

Paint details to make the dish look like an old CD or add any desired icon. Let dry and remove from your scrap paper.
TIP: If the paper sticks to the clay just use scissors to cut around the paper.
