Instructions for the Blended Clay Technique:

Step One:
With wrapping on clay cut about 1/4 to 1/3 from each of the clay blocks in the colors of your choice.  I like to use 3 – 5 colors for the best blending.  Place remaining clay into Ziploc plastic bag with a baby wipe to prevent drying.  Unwrap the clay and place in the color order desired.  Press the clay together to form a log shape.

Step Three:
Fold rolled clay in half and roll the clay out again.  Fold the clay and continue rolling to blend clay together.

Step Four:
Continue folding and rolling until the clay is very thin, about the thickness of a playing card, and you like the color blend.  Let this dry a several hours or overnight, turning as needed.  If for some reason it begins to curl place a book on top of the clay to help flatten it out.  There is some shrinkage which is why it is cut after drying when a specific size is needed.

Now the fun part starts…you are ready to create some projects with the Blended Clay!

Grab a Postcard stamp to create postcards!  Create Luggage tags for your suitcases and use a sharpie to add your address.  You can use a paper trimmer to cut the clay, it can be die cut and of course you can cut it with a scissors…even a decorative edge scissors!
