I've just finished the second batch of these gorgeous clay decorations which are découpaged using ricepaper and napkins.
This time I used a very lightweight clay and of course moulds which made a big difference to the finish as you will remember my last lot were done freehand and were a bit on the rustic side. For the round decoration I just used the lid of a pringles box as a mould as I couldn't get my hands on a round one anywhere. These are super easy and really fun to make. I added some bows and glitter and aged the edges a bit with patina for effect. You can click to enlarge the photos.
There are lots of ways you can finish these off. You can add flowers, ribbon, use stamps or even a 3D effect - like snow paste or 3D acrylic paint to enhance the finish. The sky's the limit and you will have your very own unique design. These lovely decorations make fantastic Christmas gifts for friends and family .....or teachers etc. Why not try some of your own? You can even present them in little boxes for a really posh look - even better if the boxes match the decorations, and you can do that using the same paper to découpage them.
I hope you enjoyed my post, like always if you would like to ask me any questions please do so by emailing me (see the 'Send us a Message' form on the top right of this page) and I will be happy to help.
Bye for now
