|
NAPKIN RING
| Unwrap each package of clay and knead in your
hands until it is soft. Put the all the white clay
together and, using the glass or rolling pin, roll the clay
flat, between 1/8 and 1/4 inches [30 - 60 mm] thick.
Cut the rolled clay into strips 1½ tall and 4 inches
wide [3.8 cm x 10 cm].
|
|
Using the remaining white clay, roll it thinly
-- between 1/16 and 1/8 inch [15 mm - 30 mm]
thick. Using about a quarter of the blue and
black clay, roll each to the same thickness.
- Stack the clay -- white on the bottom, black in the
middle, blue on the top.
- Using the ruler, slice the edge straight; then slice a
strip about 1/4 inch [60 mm] wide.
- Hold one end of the strip and twist the other to
create a diagonally striped cane.
- Roll the cane very gently to smooth. It will get
longer and thinner during rolling, depending on the
amount of pressure applied.
|
|
| Place the canes adjacent to the long edges of
the white clay as shown. Roll gently so the canes and
the white clay stick together.
Trim ends
Using the soda straw, poke two holes in the white
clay. These will be used to tie the ribbon onto the
finished napkin ring. |
|
| Form the ring as shown, gently joining the
canes and the white clay.
Place the napkin rings on a baking sheet and follow the
manufacturer's instructions for baking the clay.
Note that the clay is dimensionally stable and will
neither shrink nor expand during baking. It also will
not get smoother or change shape, so make sure that each
ring is shaped exactly as you want it to be!
When removed from the oven, the rings will be slightly
soft, but will harden as they cool |
|
| When the rings are cool, cut a piece of yarn
about 8 inches [20 cm] long. Thread it through the holes as
shown.
Cut a second piece of yarn 8 inches [20 cm]. Wrap yarn
around your hand 20 times, remove and tie in the middle as
shown to make a bow.
|
|
| Tie the bow onto the napkin ring and trim the
ends. |
