Instructions
Find the center of the circle. Use a ruler to divide the circle into even sections, drawing lines with a pencil.
Use the pencil to add in details such as circles, ovals, and other shapes using the lines to keep everything uniform.
Roll out a small bit of air dry clay into a long narrow tube.
Add a line of glue onto one of the pencil lines and place the narrow tube of clay over top of the glue.
Add any texture to the clay lines using the end of a paintbrush or pencil point.
Repeat the previous step until all design is in place. Allow air dry clay to dry thoroughly before going to the next step.
Paint the entire piece white with white acrylic paint. Allow the paint to dry.
Add bright colored acrylic paint to select sections of the design.
Use the Fevicol Glue to attach the mini mirror mosaic pieces to the Lippan Art. Add any gemstones.
