How Do You Create Mushrooms Made Out Of Clay?
• First you will need some clay. You can use any kind, from the type that requires glazing to Femo. • Start by picking a color for the cap of the mushroom and mold it into a shape that resembles a shallow cup. • Now pick a color for the stem of your mushroom (tan usually goes well with any color). Roll the stem of your mushroom into a medium sized cylindrical shape with rounded edges. • Now that you have made your stem and cap, you can decorate your mushroom. • To bake your clay figure so that it becomes hard, first check the clay package/wrapping for heating instructions and information. This varies depending on what type of clay you are using and how large your piece is. • After you have put your clay into the oven, keep an eye on it. Clay can burn if baked for too long. • When you take your mushroom out of the oven let it cool before you handle it. Now you have a cute little mushroom for your garden or anything else!
