1.
Using the Makin's Brand® Mat
and the Roller, take the whole pack of Natural clay and
roll it out into a rectangular shape so that it measures
115mm across x 150mm lengthways x 7mm thickness.
Help your child to press their hand steadily and firmly
into the middle of the clay rectangle (Use one or two
hands depending on your child's age. You could even do
a footprint instead).

2.
Once
the impression is made, trim all edges to make sure it
fits the inside edges of your chosen photo frame (Approx.
90mm x 125mm). Use the appropriate tool from Makin's Brand® Clay Tool Set to make a kind of rough,
rock-like texture on the raised clay surface around the
impression. Use fairly delicate strokes, giving it a very
subtle roughness to mimic the surface of rock.

3.
Use the appropriate tool from the Makin's Brand®
Clay Tool Set to spell out your child's name in small
dots in one corner as shown in our picture.

| 4.
Mix the Burnt Umber Acrylic Paint with a little water and brush evenly over the clay, paying particular attention to the hand impression. To create the aged rock effect, wipe away the excess paint from the surface with a clean towel.
|
 |
| Final. Set aside and allow it to dry for 2 days. Fix the clay impression onto the wooden panel at the back of the frame with the white glue. Insert your child's photograph opposite.
