Lanterns from self-hardening clay with punched-out holes
SKU
v15733
Make these lanterns from self-hardening clay by first cutting out the circular base with a shape cutter. Roll the side section (like a waistband) flat and make small holes with a round cookie cutter by pushing down the plunger on top. Assemble the circular base and the side section (waistband) and leave to dry.
How to do it
1
Roll self-hardening clay flat and make the base by cutting a circle with a round shape cutter in a suitable size.
2
Calculate the circumference of the lantern in order to make the outside (side section) of the lantern; i.e. multiply the diameter of the circular base (here 6 cm) by pi (3.14).
The calculation in this case is 6 x 3.14 cm = 19 cm. Add another couple of cm
3
Use a round cookie cutter for making holes in the rectangular section of the lantern by pushing down the plunger on top of the cookie cutter.
4
Squeeze the lantern's outer side (the rectangular section) firmly around the circular base ensuring it sticks firmly. Fold over the ends.
5
A tip: If the clay overlaps the holes, use the round cookie cutter to re-make the holes by pushing down the plunger through both layers of clay.
