craft your happy place
Take a 3-inch piece of air-dry clay and work it in your hands until it becomes nice and pliable. What do I mean by working it? Kneading and squishing it until it’s easy to mold.
Roll out your air-dry clay to about 1/4″ thickness. You can stack popsicle sticks or chopsticks next to the clay to help you roll an even thickness, but I found they just got in the way!
Next, you want to cut a 5″ circle out of your rolled clay. For the best results, try to get this as perfect as possible.
Cut a line from the center point of the clay circle out to the edge.
The edges of your air-dry clay shelf are likely a bit rough, but that’s easy to fix! Using an emery board (nail file) or a sanding sponge, gently sand down all the edges until smooth.
You’ll use a different hanging method depending on whether you plan to hang this on the wall or in your locker. For a wall, use 1 or 2 Command Picture Hanging Strips. For your locker or a magnet board, use self-adhesive magnets.
