DIY Marbled Dishes

I was scrolling through Pinterest (as always) when I decided since I am obsessed with rings, and I leave mine all over the house and end up looking everywhere for them I might as well make some homes for my accessories!

Supplies:

different colours of oven bake clay
exacto knife
small oven safe bowl
paint for lining the outside
small paintbrush
rolling pin
medium sized can or bowl for tracing
glaze to seal (optional)

*set oven to 275°F*

STEP 1: Roll each colour you want to use into a snake about 6″ long.

STEP 2: Twist clay pieces together. You can twist and pull as much as you want until you get the marbled effect you like.

STEP 3: Roll the snake into a ball and keep smooshing it until you have your favourite colour combination on top.

STEP 4: Using a rolling pin, flatten out your ball till it’s about 1/8″ thick.

STEP 5: Next take the medium can/bowl with the same shape you want your dish to be and cut the circle out using an Exacto knife.

STEP 6: Place your circle carefully into an oven-safe bowl that is a bit smaller that your dish so that it will sag in the middle forming more of a dish shape. Bake according to the temperature on your clay package (I did 15 minutes at 275°F). Then remove the bowl from the oven and allow it to cool before turning upide down and gently getting the marbled dish out. You may have to run a paring knife along the edge to loosen it.

STEP 7: Once the clay dish is completely cool, take some paint and using a small brush, paint the rim of your dish. After that is dry feel free to finish it with a glazed seal (I decided not too). And lastly, don’t forget to have fun decorating your room and keeping your nic-nacs in place 😉
