YOU`LL NEED

• one small and one medium sized ovenproof bowls
• a baking sheet or wax paper
• a paper or fabric lace doily
• a rolling pin
• 2 ounces of polymer clay
• a knife
• an oven
• a nail file (optional)

STEP 1

Preheat the oven to 275°F (130°C). Even though most polymer clay is non-toxic, all the surfaces and tools that comes in contact with the clay should be strictly used for crafts and not reused with food. The first step is to condition the clay. Knead the clay in between your fingers, until it becomes softer and more pliable. Then, start rolling out the clay on a baking sheet or wax paper.

STEP 2

The clay should be rolled out to a thickness of 1/4″. Place a paper or fabric lace doily over the clay and make an imprint with the rolling pin. Gently peel the lace doily away from the clay.

STEP 3

Turn a small bowl over and place it over the clay. Using a knife, trim away any excess clay from the perimeter.

STEP 4

Carefully lay the circular clay piece into a larger and shallow bowl. Place the bowl onto the middle rack of the oven and bake for approximately 15 – 20 minutes.

STEP 5

Allow the bowl to cool completely before removing the clay dish. Use a nail file to smooth out the edges. I personally prefer to keep it white, however, I’m sure it would look just as cute painted gold or sprayed painted in another color. Enjoy!!
