DIY Marbled Jewelry Dish

Materials:

• Clay; as many colors as you like; make sure to find a kind that is “oven-bake” safe.
• Gold paint
• A cup, bowl, or something oven safe to place the clay on/in
• A stamp or piece of lace with desired design

Make sure your clay is “oven-bake” safe

Directions for a Marbled look:

1. Choose at least two different colors of clay
2. Roll a piece of clay around in your hands until softened and easy to roll out
3. Roll out on a covered surface, like the silicone mats or wax paper, into a long strip
4. Repeat with the other colors
5. Place them together and roll into one piece
6. Fold it in half
7. Roll it out again; and fold in half and roll again
8. Roll until it creates a “marbled” look
9. Use your hands to press the clay into a round shape; you can also place it between two sheets of wax paper and roll it out with a rolling pin
10. For a specific shape, such as a heart, use a cookie cutter to cut the shape
11. Once it’s the size you like find a cup, or anything oven safe, that you can form the clay over to take the shape of the object
12. Place the cup covered with clay onto a baking sheet
13. Follow the directions on the box to bake the clay
14. Once the baked clay has cooled you can paint the rim with gold paint; two coats
15. Allow it to dry completely

Directions for a “lace,” “stamped,” or indented design

1. Roll a piece of clay around in your hands until softened and easy to roll out
2. Use your hands to press the clay into a round shape; you can also place it between two sheets of wax paper and roll it out with a rolling pin to about a ¼ inch thick
3. If using a stamp, press the stamp down in the area where the design is desired
4. If using lace, place the lace onto the clay and press with a rolling pin to imprint the design
5. Carefully place the circle of imprinted clay in a glass bowl to achieve the same shape as the bowl
6. Place in the oven and bake according to package directions
7. Allow it to cool completely
