Believe - Home decor using leftovers

Hello there Creative Paperclay® friends and fans!!

Jenn here today to show you how you can use all of your leftover bits and pieces of Creative Paperclay® to create something unique and giftable! Using pieces, and adding in some ink and flowers, I made this pretty little wall decor titled Believe.

Here is How I made it!...........

I don't know about you but I save everything! All of the scraps, cut-offs, trims, and bits are kept in a container for later use. Saving some of the smallest things can be used later to create something unique and fun.

For this project, I coated a plain plaque in heavy white gesso and then once dry I added a brick stencil and ink sprays from Art Anthology. Using a glittery clear spray added just enough of a sparkly effect.

Now onto the leftovers!!

From previous projects, I had some leaves and a molded ornate side of a frame in Creative Paperclay®. I also had a molded face that was created with Delight® air dry modeling compound. After coating with heavy white gesso and allowing to dry I adhered them to my plaque.

Add flowers, glitter, and a sentiment stamped onto a small domino and there you have it! You can give as a gift or keep for yourself!

Creative Paperclay® products are available for purchase in our online store.

They are also available at the following craft stores: Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and Joann's

Thanks so much for viewing my post! Happy Holidays to you!!

Getting Festive with Creative Paperclay®

Hello friends and fans! Jenn here today sharing my Holiday Spirit by getting festive with Creative Paperclay®!!

Using Creative Paperclay® Modeling Material and some simple holiday cookie cutters I have created a few different things today to share.

First, here is how I started with all the fun shapes!

First, roll out a nice even layer of Creative Paperclay® with a rolling pin onto wax paper. Cut each shape desired with cookie cutter. Let these dry for at least one night. 

As an added tip***lightly brush some corn starch on your rolling pin to prevent any sticking when rolling out your clay.

Now we are on to the painting and adding hangers!

All of the pieces were painted using acrylics. The tree was assembled as an ornament using ribbon adhered to the back. The stars were assembled using a string of metallic red beads which were embedded into the clay before drying. The other pieces were painted and set aside to use as embellishments for another crafty creation!

As you can see creating these lovely ornaments and embellishments is simple and fun using Creative Paperclay®!! This would be a fun holiday project to do with your children as well!!

Creative Paperclay® is available to purchase at the online store as well as Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and Joann's.

Bejeweled Creative Paperclay® Painting

I have been working on a series of 48" x 48" paintings using Creative Paperclay® as part of my narrative. This piece is in its early stages and is just blocked in at this point. I loved combining the old with new in my work so I started with a traditional pose from the 1500's combined with highly decorated clay hearts.

SUPPLIES
Creative Paperclay®
Silicone mold
Found objects
Acrylic paint
Amazing Molding Putty
E6000 glue
Soft gel gloss

I started by casting a series of hearts. The mold was made from my collection of milagros and exvotos using Amazing Molding Putty.

While this was drying I gathered beads, found objects and E6000 glue.

The dried hearts were attached to my painting with soft gel gloss. BTW I work on wood panels.

People leave me bags of broken jewelry and other goodies at my door step. Last week I received three bags from three different people. It is like Christmas when I get these.

At a thrift door the last week, I found large bags of broken jewelry and odds and ends for a cheap price and I didn't pick them up. When I went back they were gone. Still kicking myself. 

This piece has faux pearls from the 30's, old bracelet and small charm.

I definitely have a baroque heart in this body that keeps trying to come out. Decorated with faux pearl, salt water pears, micro beads and vintage broach.

Old beaded necklace, broach and some mica flakes finished off this heart.

The finished piece will be posted on my facebook page when done - https://www.facebook.com/darleneoliviamcelroy

Use Your Scraps!

Hello, Creatives! So, If you are like most crafters you probably find yourself creating things and then setting them aside at times. I do this all the time! I create many many embellishments using molds and Creative Paperclay® and then I do not always use them. I let them dry and they end up in a bin for later use. Today I want to show you how to create a quick little project to use your scraps!

First gather up your scraps and bits that you have created with Creative Paperclay® and paint them all with gesso to prime them. While they are drying grab a canvas board and paint it with black acrylic or any color you wish.

Take a long piece of jute, doubled to create a loop at the top. Next, carefully glue the pieces you have chosen to the jute. be sure to straighten the jute as you glue each piece to it.

Finally, Glue the piece to the canvas board, leaving the bottom scrap loose. Now it is ready for painting and embellishing however you like!
I hate to waste things and this is just one way to utilize all of your scraps and make something unique and beautiful!
Thanks so much for viewing my post and I hope that you are inspired to use those scraps! Once I embellish and paint mine I will share on our Creative Paperclay® Facebook page so be watching for that and also please share what you do with your scraps!
Creative Paperclay® has many products available online HERE.
Creative Paperclay® Modeling Materials are also available at Michaels, Joanns, and Hobby Lobby stores.
