You can create beautiful materials for decorating your home using clay. This versatile substance allows you to combine your creativity and craft various useful items by hand. Let’s learn how to Make Beautiful Materials Using Clay.
Clay is a sticky material that can be made from cornflour, flour, bread, paper, or traditional clay. Polymer paper clay, Thai clay, and ordinary polymer foam clay are derived from cornflour. While polymer foam clay is often used for children’s toys, paper clay and Thai clay can be used to create aesthetic items.
Make Beautiful Materials Using Clay : Jewelry of Clay
The use of clay brings innovation and modernity to jewelry design. You can craft stylish tops or dangling earrings, necklaces, nose pins, bracelets, rings, and bangles using polymer paper clay. Jewelry-making bases and fittings can be found at flea market.
Additionally, old bangles, broken or missing earrings, and rings can serve as a base for making clay jewelry. You can also create hijab pins and brooches with ordinary clay.
Clay Showpieces
A garden made of clay flowers and small trees can be stunning. You can create beautiful chimes, various fruits, vegetables, butterflies for wall decoration, and even seeds or parrots sitting on tree branches. Cut unnecessary plastic bottles and cover them with clay to form desired shapes like frog umbrellas or igloo houses. An aesthetic lamp created by fitting a bulb inside a clay base can significantly enhance the beauty of your home.
Basin Towel Holder by Clay
Cracking walls can be unsightly, but an aesthetic clay holder can solve the problem of hanging towels around the basin. Cut hard cardboard or styrofoam board into a round ring and apply a layer of clay in one color. Use other colors of clay to make flowers, leaves, and birds, and attach them to the holder. Then secure the holder to the wall with GripTape or hang it with an adhesive hook. Placing a towel in it will not only look beautiful but also enhance the wall’s appeal. You can also decorate a round mirror with flowers and leaves made of clay by placing it on Shola or hardboard.
House Nameplate is a must try
Take a piece of hardboard, old cardboard, or any cardboard into a round or square shape and apply any color of clay on top. Create a “Welcome” message in English or a short sentence of your choice using clay. Decorate it with flowers and leaves as you wish. This will make the entrance of your home look very aesthetic when applied to the door frame with GripTape.
Take Good Care of Clay Products
Clay items should be taken care of, just like glass and earthenware. Clean clay products with a dry cotton cloth or a soft brush, and avoid applying pressure, as they can break if dropped. However, polymer paper or Thai clay is less likely to break.
How to make Homemade Clay
Clay can be found at any office stationery store. A box of ordinary clay costs between 5-10 dollar. You can also make clay at home by mixing equal parts of cornflour and fabric glue in an airtight container. Heat any petroleum jelly and mix it well in a liquid state to create clay. This homemade clay can be wrapped in polythene and stored in an airtight box for up to two months.
Phone Cover also!
The glossy transparent cover of a phone often turns yellow after a few months of use, which can be unattractive. Many people throw them away and buy new covers. To prevent such waste, you can rejuvenate old covers with clay. Apply a color of clay of your choice all over the cover, and decorate it with flowers, leaves, or shapes like Mickey Mouse, pandas, cats, Barbie dolls, and Spider-Man using other colored clay.
