Decorative Baby Frame

by Martha Lucia Gomez

Hi everyone, Martha Lucia here with you. Today I want to share an special idea with you. It is a Baby Frame that you can use as present or decoration. I made this using only one color of clay and one Push Mold. This is the list of materials that I used to make this:

Product list:

• Makin’s Clay® - White
• Makin’s Professional® Cutting Mat
• Makin's Clay Push Mold - Baby
• Beacon™ Quick Grip All Purpose Adhesive
• Copic Markers or any alcohol markers
• White Frame 5 x 7"
• Decorated Paper Pink Piroutte
• Card Stock Chocolate Chip
• Postage Stamp Craft Punch

Instructions:

Use White Makin's Clay® to push mold all the decorative pieces for your frame.  Since the mold is clea,r you can turn it over and see if you have air bubbles that need to be pressed out and make sure that all areas are filled with clay. Remove the excess clay that overlaps the edges of the mold. If this process is difficult to you, you can cut with scissor when the clay is dry. You can create several molds at the same time. You can leave your molds for a few hours until the clay dries, or, since the molds are flexible, you can remove your clay pieces when the clay is still fresh.

Once the clay is fully dry (24 hours), if you want to give special colors to some parts of your design you can paint these with alcohol markers or any other paints (you can paint Makin's Clay® when it is still fresh or dry - when using alcohol inks or
alcohol markers, wait until the clay is dry). I used Copic Markers for mine.


I used a white 5x7" wooden frame as the base for the project.  I created a mat from Pink Pirouette Decorated Paper and punched individual "mats" from the dark brown "chocolate chip" card stock for the clay shapes with a postage stamp craft punch.

I pasted each design over the chocolate chip mat using Beacon™ Quick Grip All Purpose Adhesive and let it dry for a while.

This is a very simple idea that you can use as inspiration because we have a lot of molds to choose from, and you can create your frame with any other theme and make something special for Mom, Dad, Halloween, Christmas, with flowers, or any other occasion.

I hope you are inspired with my tutorial and comeback soon to share with us!

Enjoy, Martha Lucia
