Equipment

  • 1 Paintbrush Optional
  • 1 Mini Rolling Pin appropriate for clay

Supplies

  • Tin Foil
  • Air Dry Clay
  • Paint Optional
  • Glue Optional
  • Gems
  • Small Sea Shells

Instructions

  • Take aluminum foil and crumple it up to create an egg shaped ball. Set aside.
  • If you want to dye your clay: take a piece of clay and smoosh it out with your hand. Then add a generous squirt of acrylic paint to the top. Fold the clay over the paint and squish together. Continue doing this and kneading the clay until the color is spread uniformly.
  • Roll the clay out. Then take the aluminum foil egg and stick it in the middle.
  • Start to pull the clay up over the aluminum foil, squishing it together to secure it to the egg and the clay around it.
  • Smooth the clay if wanted and ensure the clay covers all the aluminum foil.
  • Start to push into the clay gems and small sea shells. Can also use the sea shells to create patterns in the clay.
  • Once covered to your liking, put the eggs aside to dry.
