How I Make A Bookmark Pins Using Air Dry Clay

avatar

$1

Hello! How are you? It has been a while since I used the Air-Dry Clay I purchased. I decided to buy a new one because the one I had before was little and it was not enough for the next craft I am going to make, so I decided to use that to make bookmark pins. The process of making them is a bit messy but worth it, but just the start.

I've been thinking of what design I will make out of it, so I decided to make a shape out of their face with their eyes looking below, like pointing to the place where the bookmark is, if I make sense LOL. I know the reason why I stopped working with air-dry clay for a while. The drying time will take a day, so patience is the number one key for this craft.

I did my best for this one, but I did miss playing with Air Dry Clay.
So, I hope you like it. :D

I first condition the Air-Dry Clay by kneading it in my hand.

$1

After kneading it by hand I then spray a little bit of water on the Air-Dry Clay because the clay dries easily and then I knead it with an acrylic rolling pin until soft.

After that, I sculpted the clay to the shape of a heart and because air dry clay tends to have uneven parts it will need to smoothen it with a wet sponge.

After I smoothen the clay I then next put in the pin in the clay.

And I made another bookmark pin with the shape of a star.

After that, It needs to be dry for 24 hours or more depending on what weather are you in.

Now they are dried because they have a little bit of imperfection I will file and smoothen that later and by the way this is the design I wanted to paint.

Using an electric file I smoothen the air-dry clay.

And then I painted the air-dry clay first layer first and let it dry first before painting the next layer.
