How to make this craft step-by-step:
Materials
For this craft project you will need:
- self-hardening modelling clay
- a metal memo clip
- wooden beads
- plastic pins
- felt flowers on stems
Step 1
Take about 150 grams of modelling clay and roll it into a ball. Then flatten it slightly to make a stable base for the photo holder.
Tip: If the clay cracks, dampen it lightly and reshape to smooth it out.
Step 2
Thread wooden beads onto the metal stem, leaving the last 4 centimetres free.
Note: Our wooden bead pack makes enough for 5 photo holders.
Step 3
Push the memo clip into the centre of the modelling clay ball.
Step 4
Stick two felt flowers into the modelling clay to finish the decoration.
Step 5
Push plastic pins into the clay to add a splash of colour to the base.
Leave the clay to dry for 3 to 4 days. After 2 days, lay the photo holder on its side to dry the underside of the base.
Step 6
Place a photo in the memo clip to complete your creation!
