DIY: Clay Painted Coasters
You’ll need…
- Rolling pin
- Cookie cutter
- White fimo / polymer clay (I needed roughly a 57g block per coaster)
- A lined baking tray
- Blue porcelain / glass / tile paint
- Paint brush
To make…
- Preheat the oven to 110 C or whatever your clay pack advises.
- Bring together the clay in your hands to get a ball and then roll out into a disc that’s half cm thick. Lift off the surface to make sure it’s not stuck down.
- Use your cutter to cut out the shape. Remove the excess and lay on the baking tray, keeping the shape in tact.
- Bake for 30 mins or however long the instructions suggest.
- Once cooled you can paint on your design. The beauty of the patterns I did is it’s just a collection of dabs and spots which is very easy to recreate. Press gently and have a piece of paper at hand to test how much ink you need on your brush.
- Then place back in an oven at 150 C and bake for a further 30 mins to set the paint or simply cover the coaster in mod podge glue to seal.
- There you have your coasters ready for each tea break.
