CIY Staff Tips:
- Paint and water mixtures should be smooth but not too watery, just loose enough to pour easily from the cup.
- Because the bottom of the dish is decorated with washable paint, we recommend not placing the dish near water. If you’d prefer a more permanent option, use acrylic paint on the bottom of the dish.
Steps:
1
On a piece of wax paper, roll out a 1/2” thick, medium-size air dry clay ball.
2
Use cookie cutter on clay to create the dish shape.
3
Use your hands to curve the edges slightly upward to complete the dish shape.
4
Turn upside-down onto wax paper. Dry overnight.
5
Pour 2–3 acrylic paint colors into disposable cups, 1 color per cup.
6
Add 1 Tbsp water to the acrylic paint, then mix with craft stick until fully combined.
7
In a separate cup, pour layers of color on top of one another. Alternate colors until you have used all of the acrylic paint.
8
Pour some of acrylic paint mixture into dish.
9
Pick up dish and gently rotate in a circular motion until paint covers the entire dish. Pour any excess paint back into the cup. Dry 1–2 hours.
10

11
