Creating Clay Cutters from Paper mache forms By Gloriann Irizarry

Creating Clay Cutters from Paper mache forms 

Hello my dear  friends. This is Gloriann's June Creative Paperclay Tip

I will show you a neat trick to make oversize clay sheet form cutter.

Paper Mache forms come in many forms, sizes, styles and shapes so feel free to choose your
favorite and let me show you how to used it over and over for many projects to come . 

I start by using my favorite roller and rolling a clay sheet to the desire thickness.

I will not roller thinner than 1/4 so it will stay strong when it dries.

I choose a cute peace sign of paper mache I found at my local craft store.

They do come solid so a little cutting is required only on the once side of the letter. 

Be careful to cut it has even has possible and use a sharp blade or saw. 

This is how it will look once the entire side is cut off

Now put the shape on top of the clay sheet to like an oversize cookie cutter and use your roller 

to make sure the pressure is even distributed and the clay will cut nicely

Remove the paper mache for to reveal the amazing oversize print sheet ready for you to create anything you will like to used it for.

carefully remove any excess and let it dry completely before using it.

At this stage you can sculpt, stamp or imprint any detail to your letter then let it dry.

I like to place my shapes to dry on cookie cooling trays because the air flows better than laying on the table.

 

Now this technique can be apply in just about anyt paper mache form 

making the possibilities endless for you to create.

Now you will never see the Paper Mache Craft Store section the same way on your next visit.

Feel free to comment , explore or make any question and has always have fun creating. 

Many Blessing and Happy Crafting !

Sincerely Gloriann Irizarry

Hello Everyone

today I wanted to chat with you about my experience with

acrylic paints 

 

kneading acrylic paints into Creative Paperclay®

you can combine several colors together 

and created a marbleized effect

kneading acrylic paints into Delight™

helps extend the playtime you have to complete

your projects

For me, this a bonus as I get 

interrupted several time by my kiddos (lol)

 Look at the fun and vibrant colors you get! 

SUGGESTIONS

Use latex gloves

 to mix your acrylic paints and

Creative Paperclay® and Delight™

The more you apply the more vibrant the colors

Allow the Creative Paperclay® and Delight™ mixture sit for approximately 20 minutes so

before rolling out and using.  Sometimes you might need to knead again and set for a few more

minutes.

I store my finished Creative Paperclay® shapes in a plastic container 

I store my unused  Delight™ in a air tight container and all dried cut shapes into a zip lock bag
