PAPER
CLAY
Not sure but this seems like a passing phase.
It was real popular there for a short
while.
You can buy the paper clay in
small packages in many colors.
If they
do not have the color you like, buy white and add a little paint to your clay
to create what ever color you want, or paint the final item.
Note: It is fairly easy to work with when
you first get it out of the package, but it starts to harden as it dries, so be
sure and work with a small amount at a time and keep the unused part covered
with a moist towel or sealed in an airtight plastic bag. If it does start to harden while working
with it, you can add a tiny bit of water to soften it back up.
It is very easy to use, just pinch off a piece and try:
- molding
into what every shape you like
- using a mold – there are a
number of plastic or rubbery molds for sale
- flatten with a roller and
rubberstamp a design
- roll flat with roller and use
mini cookie cutters to cut shapes
- Some folks run it thru their
pasta machines (dedicated craft machine)
- Once you let the item dry, you
can paint. Spray paint is fast and
easy.
- Try using metallic rub-ons for a
fun effect.
- You can rubberstamp in alphabet
letters and make clay titles, cut around the word with a knife, you could
even make scrabble like tiles.
