Initial Makin's® Clay Book

I think Makin's® Clay is one of the most versatile products....the possibilities for using it seem almost endless. 

I love notebooks of all kinds so I thought I would make a little one with a clay cover....

This is a quick and easy project and you can use Makin's® Texture Sheets or Rubber Stamps like I did....

I rolled out some white clay to about 1/8".

 

I placed my notebook on top of the clay and used the clay cutter to trim the clay to the size needed.

 

Then I glued the clay onto the cover, when doing this be sure to be generous with the glue and secure the edges securely....wipe excess with baby wipe if needed.

 

I used my EZ-De's 2" Flourish Alphabet Stamp Set to make the initial impression.  

Then I stamped around the initial with one of  my 2" Square Faux Quilting  Stamps from Unity Stamp Company.

 

Continue until you like the design.

 

Then I turned over the notebook to trim away the excess clay.

 

I used my Crafter's Ink from Clearsnap to add color to the clay....

 

I liked the multicolor effect up close but really did not like it from a distance.....

So I went over the colors again with just the Berry color which gave the entire notebook more depth....

A quick and easy Makin's® Clay project....give it a try!

Happy Memorial Day

Makin's® Clay ATC

Creating Artist Trading Cards (ATC's) with Makin's® Clay is is quick and easy to do and gives a great texture to them without adding bulk since you can roll the clay out as thin as paper.

For this ATC I rolled out Black Makin's® Clay paper thin and let it dry....The reason you let clay dry before creating an ATC is that there is some shrink to the clay and an ATC has to be exactly 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".  If the clay curls up a bit, simply place a book on it to flatten it out.

For the small squares on the side I used a package Earth Tone's Clay and rolled out the colors I wanted paper thin using texture sheets to give them texture and the small square clay cutter to form the squares.

I also rolled out the clay for the words paper thin, let the clay dry and stamped words on them, then I cut out the words and glued them onto some magic mesh and attached to the ATC.

So Quick and Easy!
