5 Easy Farmhouse Paper Clay Projects
Paper Clay is an air dry medium and does experience some shrinking, warping, and cracking as it dries. This gives the project that your working on beautiful distressed and authentic vintage look.
The best way I have found to apply the paper clay is to remove them from your mould or cutter (cookie cutters are a great way to get different shapes) while the clay is still moist. Then adhere to the surface your working on with the a Wood glue so it moulds well to the surface that you are working on. For vertical surfaces, I use a piece’s of painters tape to hold the shape in place so it doesn’t move and leave to dry.
Now that we have the easy application process out of the way lets get down to 5 Easy Farmhouse Paper Clay Projects for you to make.
