Directions
- Roll small amount of clay to 1/16" thickness
- Lay heart pattern onto clay and cut with scissors
- Press thumbs into lobes of the heart to create some indentation. When doing this you will push some clay together to create a raised line coming down center. Smooth the wells and edges of the heart with the shaping tool
. - You may let herat air dry (less than an hour) or you can paint immediately. Let paint dry before adding other colors. This will be very quick as acrylic paint is a fast drying paint.
- If you haven't let heart air dry, do so now. Remember to turn project over so both sides will dry evenly.
- Apply leafing adhesive, let dry.
- Apply leafing.
- Glue pin bar onto back side.
- Other Ideas
Downsize the pattern and create earrings to accompany your pin. Use the project as the focal point on a card or use the hearts as an embellishment on a scrapbook page or add the heart to a special box you have created.
