Gift Pail


Gift Pail by Martha Lucia Gomez
Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here! Today I have a cute gift package created with Makin's Clay®.  This can be used as a souvenir for a party, or just as a sweet little present.

Supplies:

Makin's Clay® - Brown, Red and White
Makin's®
Makin's Professional®
Beacon Adhesives - Quick Grip Adhesive™
Metal Pail
Paper Straw

Instructions:

Press brown Makin's Clay® into the select the design from the Borders push mold.  Create enough borders to cover the surface of the small metal pail.




Use Quick Grip adhesive to secure the strips to pail, beginning at the bottom and working to the top.   If the strips are too long you can cut them with the scissors. After the second or third loop you will need to paste the end of the strips to have the entire line around the pail.

When the entire pail is covered you can push down with your hands the strips to secure them better and let it dry 24 hours. The pail is ready!


To decorate the pail, I put inside a little bag with candies tied with a linen tread. Then I put inside of the pail a green and white paper straw that I decorated with some flowers that I made with red and white clay.

Use the clay roller to flatten the clay to about 1/8".  Use flower clay cutter set to cut desired number of flowers. Layer smaller flowers over the larger ones.  Fresh clay will stick to fresh clay without additional adhesive.  If adhesive is needed, the Quick Grip will work for this too.  Add a small ball of white clay to the center of the flowers.  Let flowers dry 24 hours.



Glue the flower to the paper straw, add a stamped or hand written sentiment, and insert into the pail with the candies.  Add a little bit of shredded paper to fill in around the candies and your gift package will be ready.

Thank you for stopping by and see you soon by more inspiration!
