DIY YARN BOWL WITH POLYMER CLAY
I can’t wait to show you how to create this DIY yarn bowl made with polymer clay.
Materials
- 7-8 oz of polymer clay (try experimenting with a variety of colour combinations and/or patterns)
- wax paper
- cutting tool (a butter knife would work)
- rolling pin
- an oven safe bowl
Instructions
1. To create a striped bowl like the one pictured follow these steps. Lay out a sheet of wax paper to work on, this will help to prevent sticking. Roll 7-8 long ropes of clay {using 1 oz of clay each} about 1/4″ in diameter.
2. Starting in the centre, coil the ropes around each other.
3. Continue until all of the ropes have been coiled around each other.
4. Use a rolling pin to blend the colours together and flatten the clay into a round shape about 10″ in diameter.
5. Use a cutting tool to create a hooked shape for the yarn to rest in.
6. Finally mold the clay over the outside of an oven safe bowl and place on a cookie sheet.
7. Bake at 275 for 30 minutes or as directed on the package of clay. Once cool, carefully peel your DIY yarn bowl off of the oven safe bowl.
Wow!!! Awesome…
Hi. I made a bowl,but I can’t seem to get it of after I baked it!
Oh dear! I have updated the post with a few tips.
Thank you so much. I will try again.
You spray with nonstick spray after it has baked or before?
Thanks, Paula
Before :)
My first two bowls were failures they were full of breaks and cracks. Not little cracks but structural failures. It’s a new day so willlet you know how it turns out
Oh no! Hope that you have success!
