Clay Tin: Re-purposed cough drop tin

  • tin
  • polymer clay (Sculpey)
  • nail and hammer
  • clay tools (I used an exacto knife and tooth picks)
  • baking pan
     

1. use a nail to poke to holes in the top of the tin.




2. Make cone shapes out of polymer clay and place end into hole,
starting on the inside of the tin.


 *as the clay pokes through, flatten it down to create a head
(like a rivet or nail)



3. Fill the top and then edge with pieces of clay.
You can use patterns to create a more interesting design. 
 *Roll a thin clay "snake" and use it to edge the box.
Bake according to directions.



This little gem works great for a stow-a-way in your purse and can take a beating! I love mine and keep my necessities in it and its cute. Before you bake it, make sure you remove all paper...avoid all fires. Also, make sure you purchase the oven bake clay.  This is important, I have seen too many times that children have lost beautiful creations because people grabbed the wrong package...oops!
