Claycrete Vase - Project #37

Age Range: Elementary
Time: 1 Class Period
Difficulty: Challenging
Cleanup: Soap & Water

General Materials:

Plastic or Metal Tray

	Step 1: Cut the top off of a recycled plastic bottle to make a vase form.
	Step 2: With gloves on, mix 3 TBSP powder paint with 2 cups Claycrete and 1 cup of water. The Claycrete should be the consistency dough. Each color used on the vase must be made separately. Three colors are adequate.
	Step 3: Apply the dough mixture to the outside of the plastic vase form. Use different colors to make a design.
	Step 4: While the dough is still wet, press gems into the dough and let dry overnight.
	Optional Tip 1: Add more to the design by pressing other things into the Claycrete dough like beads and mosaic pieces. Try using Sargent Art Glitter Glue when dry!
