The season for happily pottering at home with a cup of tea and a plate of biscuits has arrived. To make a stylish coaster for your copious mugs of tea, you only need a couple of things, and if you adapt the size, you can also hang it on the wall or around your neck!
Get to work
1
Roll out the clay to the desired size and thickness with the rolling pin. The thicker the clay, the longer it will take to dry.
2
Cut out the desired shape with the cutter. A diameter of 10 cm is fine for a coaster; it's best to choose a smaller size for a necklace.
3
Now carefully press the plant into the clay using the rolling pin. Carefully remove the plant from the clay to leave a nice imprint.
4
Leave to dry. To speed up the drying process, you can place the clay in the oven on the lowest setting.
5
Once the clay is dry, you can finish it with acrylic varnish for a lasting and attractive result. Opt for a transparent varnish for a simple design, or choose a bright colour.
