DIY Marbled and Stamped Jewelry Holders

clay; as many colors as you like; make sure to find a kind that is “oven-bake”

gold paint

a cup, bowl, or something oven safe to place the clay on/in

a stamp or piece of lace with desired design

Directions

For a marbled look:

*Choose at least two different colors of clay

*Roll a piece of clay around in your hands until softened and easy to roll out

*Roll out on a covered surface, like the silicone mats or wax paper, into a long strip

*Repeat with the other colors

*Place them together and roll into one piece

*Fold it in half

*Roll it out again; and fold in half and roll again

*Roll until it creates a “marbled” look

*Use your hands to press the clay into a round shape; you can also place it between two sheets of wax paper and roll it out with a rolling pin

*For aspecific shape, such as a heart, use a cookie cutter to cut the shape

*Once it’s the size you like find a cup, or anything oven safe, that you can form the clay over to take the shape of the object

*Place the cup covered with clay onto a baking sheet

*Follow the directions on the box to bake the clay

*Once the baked clay has cooled you can paint the rim with gold paint; two coats

*Allow to dry completely

For a “lace,” “stamped,” or indented design

*Roll a piece of clay around in your hands until softened and easy to roll out

*Use your hands to press the clay into a round shape; you can also place it between two sheets of wax paper and roll it out with a rolling pin to about a ¼ inch thick

*If using a stamp, press the stamp down in the area where the design is desired

*If using lace, place the lace onto the clay and press with a rolling pin to imprint the design

*Carefully place the circle of imprinted clay in a glass bowl to achieve the same shape as the bowl

*Place in the oven and bake according to package directions

*Allow to cool completely

*Add gold paint to the rim if desired
