I love working with clay but the expense of the materials and cost of getting your pieces fired can put a lot of us off.
After seeing air drying clay at our local discount store I decided to give it a try.
After playing around for a while I came up with this super easy idea...

After playing around for a while I came up with this super easy idea...
All as you need to make these is some air drying clay, a decorative plastic doily or disc (it must have a raised pattern) and some split pins.
First take a lump of clay and roll in to a ball shape with your hands - then with a rolling pin roll out until it is slightly larger than your disc.
Once your imprint is deep enough you then use a pair of scissors to carefully cut the excess clay away.
Then carefully peel away your plastic disc.
With the patterned side on the outside roll the disc into a cone shape.
Add the split pins to further secure the edges.
I used mine not only to display lavender but also at Easter suspended from curly willow branches with little eggs in them.
Enjoyed the project?
