Pirate Party!
Designed by Steph Ackerman
Ahoy Mateys, Steph Ackerman here today getting ready for a pirate party! Makin's Clay® works great in molds of all types - including silicone ice cube trays like this fun PIRATE mold!
Supplies:
Makin's® Clay - Earth Tones, Black
Makin's Professional® Cutting Mat
ColorBox Art Screen -
Rounded
Earth Safe Finishes Gesso
Sizzix® Framelits Banner Dies
Molding Paste
Silicone Ice Cube Mold - Pirate Themed
Instructions:
I began by partially blending several shades of Earth Tones clays together. I wanted several colors to show so I did not completely blend the clay
I found this fun pirate silicone mold in a local store. It's really an ice cube mold, but I knew it would work well for a Makin's Clay® project! Using the mold, I created an assortment of embellishments from the blended clay. To make the embellishments more realistic, I also used black clay on portions of the embellishments.
Now that I finished my embellishments, I pulled out a small wood box and painted it. Then I used the ColorBox Rounded Art Screen to create some dimension. I used Earth Safe Finishes Gesso to adhere the gauze in the corner.
While waiting for everything to dry, I created place cards from cardstock. On the top layer I placed stickers spelling out the children's names. Then I added additional pirate embellishments to coordinate with the banner.
Once the box was dry, I adhered several clay embellishments amongst the gauze as well as another on the front of the box.
The pirate embellishments are adorable and perfect for a pirate party. Makin's Clay® is light weight and the embellishments added little weight to the banner and place cards.
What will you create with Makin's Clay® today?
Thanks for stopping by today.
