Heart in Hand Clay Dish
Supplies:
Air-dry modeling clay
Roller
Clay tool set (for cutting, or can use a plastic knife)
Parchment paper
Small bowl
Craft paint
Paintbrush
Directions:
1. On top of a sheet of parchment paper, roll out a ball of clay until 1/4″ thick.
2. Place hand on top and cut out shape with clay tool (or knife). Tip: Lightly touch cracks or rough spots with a little bit of water to help smooth it out.
3. Place the hand on top of the bottom of a small bowl so that it will air dry into the shape of a dish. Allow about 48 hours to dry completely (the package says 24, but ours needed longer time).
4. Once it is completely dry, paint the outline of a hand and a heart in the middle. Allow paint to dry.
Attach a little note that says, “You hold my heart in your hand!” and you have a perfectly sweet Valentine’s Day gift for someone you love. Or have the kids make them as presents for the grandparents (or mom and dad).
I have True’s hand on my bedside table and it’s just the right place to put my rings for the day. See the other clay creations the girls made here. I love how easy it is to work with air-drying clay.
