DIY Clay Coasters

Even though I love how these coasters turned out, it was a rocky road to get to the finished product. I initially made these by marbling white & light pink clay, then wrote fun words on the tops with a gold leaf pen. I didn’t absolutely love how they turned out & they photographed so poorly.

I had initially wanted to do a navy blue/copper combo but could not find navy blue clay anywhere, until I took a little trip to Hobby Lobby! After finding navy blue clay, I decided to re-make these coasters since I already had most of the supplies. Have any of you ever had to re-make a craft before?!

 

 

You will need:

• Oven-Bake Clay (each 2 oz. block will make one coaster). This Premo! Sculpey clay was the only brand I could find that had dark blue.
• Martha Stewart Metallic Multi-Surface Craft Paint (I used Rose Copper)
• Painters tape
• 1″ Foam Brush
• A Rolling pin
• 4″ cookie cutter

Directions: 

1. Roll out clay, one 2 oz. block at a time.
2. Use your cookie cutter to cut out a circle from that one block
3. Place all your circles on a baking sheet lined with wax paper
4. Follow baking instructions listed on the package
5. Let cool
6. Use painters tape to tape off any design you’d like
7. Use your foam brush to paint on the clay inside the design you’ve taped off
8. Let dry & spray with a sealer
