StencilGirl® Design Team Hop - Gift Worthy



Hi and welcome to a fun blog hop from the StencilGirl® CreativeTeam. We were charged with creating something gift worthy. I decided to work with some clay.







I had fun with this new to me clay and I have a video of the process for you here.https://youtu.be/MQ0cmW1WJgA


So once the clay had cured, I added several coats of dimensional adhesive to seal and add a gloss finish to the piece.

I think it turned out pretty cool and that clay takes an impression really well.
Once it cured it was time to add the embellishments. I used Sari silk ribbon and a few findings.




I hope you enjoyed this project and decide to make a few of your own. Thanks for stopping by. ttfn

So glad you showed us how to make this piece using the clay. I think the Diamond Glaze was the perfect thing to make the texture of the stencil shine.
