Make vases with Claycrete!

Steps

• 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 of 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 adding glitter glue when dry!
