Top Tip
You can varnish the trinket trays if you want a shiny appearance.
How to Make
- Firstly, make some clay slip by adding a little water to some soft clay and mix it.
- Then, roll out a lump of clay using a rolling pin.
- Cut the clay into a circle shape, you can use something round to help.
- Score and create texture around the edge of the circle base.
- Then paint some slip over where you scored the clay.
- Roll a sausage shape to create a coil and cut it to the right length. Do this by lining up the coil with the edge of the base and trim the ends.
- Once it’s cut to length, you need to bond the two ends of the coil together using the scoring and slip technique.
- Then smooth out the inside and outside of the trinket tray using plastic modelling tools.
- Further smooth the trinket tray with a paintbrush and your finger.
- Allow the clay to dry.
- Paint the trinket tray blue.
- Lastly, when the base layer is dry, paint daisies using a paintbrush and cotton buds.
