| Floral Mini Notebook Designed by Irit Shalom |
Hello my dear
crafty friends and welcome to my new Makin's
Clay® tutorial!
August is a Back
to School month and I decided to use some Makin's
Clay® techniques to make the
mini notebook clay cover. I thought that I never made anything in that trendy
aqua and pink colors and with a small add-ons of black and gold it may become
the next trendy thing.
So here we
go!
Materials:
Paints- DecoArt®
Glue- Beacon Adhesives™
Die- Elizabeth Crafts
Molds other then Makin's Clay® - WOW! Embossing Powders
Corner rounder
Eyelet setter, eyelets
Binding rings
Instructions:
1. Add a few drops of acrylic paint to
half a package of white Makin’s Clay® and mix it to color your clay. On this photo you see the Primary Magenta
acrylic before the mixing. You can see the perfect pink on one of the next
photos.
2. This is a mix already made with White Makin's Clay and Cobalt
teal acrylic. I used Makin’s Professional®
Ultimate Clay Machine® on setting 4 to make the clay sheets for this project.
3. Now cut the straight piece using
cutting wheel from Makin’s Professional® Roller and
Cutters set®.
Cut it into two equal parts to make the front and the back of the notebook
cover. Now let it dry over night.
4. Use any good hole maker to make three
holes on the top of each half and if you wish add eyelets into the holes. Makin's Clay® is easy to use with any hole
maker and eyelet setter as it's light weight and flexible when dry.
5. Now use any good heavy duty corner
rounder to round the low corners on both front and back covers. Again, any good corner rounder will do the
work because of the clay qualities. Our covers are done and now we move to the
embellishment part of it.
6. Use pink fresh mixed clay and Makin's Clay® Texture sheet set H to make the front cover main matting
piece. Roll over the texture plate with a roller
from Makin’s Professional® Roller and
Cutters set®. Let it dry before you try to use the
textured piece.
7. Die cut a small stitched rectangle
using the left over aqua dry clay sheet and a die.
8. Use Makin's
Clay® Borders Push mold and black Makin’s Clay® to make a border piece for the
embellishment cluster. (The photo shows the leaves border;
finally, due the small space I made the rope one and used it on the finished
project.)
9. Use other molds to make some flowers
and leaves. I mostly made black ones and just one single pink for the
contrast. Let the molded pieces dry and then take
them of the molds.
10. And this is a close up to the finished cluster. The textured pink piece was hand torn and edges were covered with gold acrylic. The aqua die cut rectangle was added over the pink textured matting. All black and one pink flowers and leaves were gold painted on the top and arranged into one big fancy cluster. The push mold rope was added on the bottom and I also added one molded bow to finish this notebook.
And now to the final project photos (no
paper is inside the notebook yet as I need to cut it to fit the covers).
