Makin's Clay Blog Hop

Welcome the the Makin's Clay Blog Hop.....if you have been following my blog for awhile you know I LOVE Makin's Clay and use it a lot in my design work....one of my favorite techniques is the blended clay technique which I use for many design projects such as Postcards, Headbands, Post-it-Note Holders, Scrapbooking and more....

So for the Blog Hop I decided to create a fall bracelet with my blended clay technique....

here's how I did it.

I chose my colors from the Earth Tones Package

 

I cut off the portion I needed using my non stick scissors 

and placed the rest in a ziplock bag. 

 

I pushed the colors together to form a log

and started to roll out the clay.

I folded the clay onto itself 

 

and continued to roll....

 

you can see the colors blending together here...

 

I continued folding and rolling until clay was very thin and I liked the color blend. 

 Then I let this dry a few hours turning as needed.  

If for some reason it begins to curl place a book on it to help flatten it out.

I then measured the clay around a DIY Bangle 

which had been painted with Earth Safe Finishes Copper Shimmer

cut to fit and glued in place with Beacon Adhesives Felt Glue.

With the left over clay I die cut 7 flowers using my 

Sizzix Big Shot and Scallop Dies. 

I pierced a hole in the centerof each flower 

then layered them and attached a brad to hold them together.

The glued onto the bangle....
