Pastel Clay Dipped Jars

You will need

Hexagonal glass jars (I cant remember where I got mine from – probably Wilkinsons)

Air dry clay

Rolling pin (I use the inner tube from a roll of foil)

Water

Paints (I used watercolour pastels but acrylics would work too)

Roll out the clay thinly

I used a ruler and a pair of scissors to get a piece big enough to cover the bottom half of the jar plus a bit to wrap underneath it. The top edge should be as straight as possible.

Wet the jar with a little water and wrap the clay around it. I folded the edge over so it would cover the bottom of the jar.

Use a wet finger to smooth the clay and seal the edges.

Wait for it to dry - overnight is best.

Paint it - I used watercolour pastels but you could use acrylic paints instead

 

Fin!
