How to make a Vase out of Polymer clay

To make a clay vase, you will start by removing a small amount of clay from each of the different colors.  Once you have a small quantity of each color, begin warming them up in your hands and eventually roll them out with an acrylic roller.

The colors will slightly blend together.  You can now add a few spots of clay to each of the color areas that are flattened out.  This will continue to add to the lovely marbled look.

Creating a vase mold

Using your paper cone cups as a mold, start to wrap your flattened FIMO clay around the shape of the cups.  Your final look will look something like little gnome hats and this means you are on right track – ha.

Follow the directions on your specific clay and allow to fully cool in temperature.

Gluing your clay vase to a wood base

Once the clay is adequately cooled down and become hardened, it is time to adhere to a small count out piece of bass wood.  I use E6000 for more of my more heavy duty gluing projects.

The final step to this great clay project was filling it with all the faux plants and herbs I could find.

I just love how the final look came out!

I have since hung these fun clay wall hangings in my office and I love the little pop of color they provide – in addition to I always love adding plants to my walls.

I love that with clay there are just endless options and endless color choices to go from.

Thanks for stopping by today!
