Roll out flat to roughly 3mm thick.<\/li>\r\n\r\n<li>Now break off one line of another colour and soften in your hands, make three pea size balls and place these sporadically onto the rolled out clay.<\/li>\r\n\r\n<li> Mix the colours together by moving it in between your fingers slowly, try not to over work it or you will lose the other colour altogether. You should now see a marbled effect in your clay. Roll back flat and use your chosen shape to cut out as many shapes as you wish.<\/li>\r\n\r\n<li>Using a pencil make a whole at the top centre of your shape, not too near the edge to avoid it splitting when dry.<\/li>\r\n\r\n<li> Press a wooden initial into the centre below the hole using the tip of the pencil, remove gently using the pencil to lift out of the clay.<\/li>\r\n\r\n<li>Repeat these steps with as many colours, shapes and initials as you wish. Once done place them onto a baking tray, then oven bake at 275\u00b0F \/ 135\u00b0C for 30 minutes, then allow the firm clay to cool completely.<\/li>\r\n\r\n<li>Fill your initials with pva and sprinkle your chosen glitter colours over.<\/li>\r\n\r\n<li>Once dry, add your split rings and keychains and they are ready to use!<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","shopping_list":"<ul>\r\n<li>Pencil\r\n<li>Small Cookie\/Playdough cutters\r\n<li>Baking Tray\r\n<li>Glue<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","shopping_list_2":"","top_tip":"Make sure you open and separate your split ring slightly before threading through your clay to prevent any breakage.","image_01":70740,"step_instruction_01":"","image_02":70741,"step_instruction_02":"","image_03":70742,"step_instruction_03":"","image_04":"","step_instruction_04":"","image_05":"","step_instruction_05":"","image_06":"","step_instruction_06":"","template":"","related_projects":"8549,8553,8557,8531,23314","latest_idea_content":"most-recent","show_date":false,"adult_supervision_needed":"Yes","youtube_video":"","products":"FE823,AC443,AW350,E979,AR494,AR870","fbt_products":"","recommendation_products":""},"view_count":10,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8542"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8542\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87808,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8542\/revisions\/87808"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bakerross.co.uk\/craft-ideas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
