General instructions Makin's Clay: this clay dries in the air therefore store clay not in use and also whilst making projects in an closed, air tight bag in the special Makin's Clay storage box. Cutting out clay: Roll out the clay to 2 mm thick, if using the clay roller this is quickly and evenly done. Use the cutters to cut the required shape and/or letters. Push the shapes out carefully using the round side of a spatula. Lay the shape down flat and work it with the spatula. Allow everything to dry for a few hours (time depends on thickness).
Painting: To apply the paint easily and evenly use a small piece of sponge and do not forget the edges! If a piece is difficult to reach then use a brush. Paint several thin layers for an opaque result. As the clay absorbs the paint it is dry in minutes. Leave to dry for 24 hours and then stick the clay shapes into the scrapbook. Cover the whole of the back with Pritt Powerstick, this stops distortion. Structure sheet: This transparent push mould allows you to make motifs in clay sheet. Roll the clay 2mm thick using the clay roller. Dust the sheet with talcum powder using a brush to stop the clay sticking to the mould. Lay the clay onto the sheet and push it with your fingers and then lightly with the roller. Check the back of the mould to make sure that the motifs are properly filled. Carefully peel back the clay on one side and then slowly release the rest.
Instructions butterfly garden: 1. Decide the layout with the block template. Lay the template onto a page placing the photos and remaining decorations under the template and then draw the shapes of the template on to them. 2. Cut the photos and coloured paper on the drawn line and lay them back in the spaces on the block template. Stick them all into place one by one. 3. Use a pencil to indicate the
eyelet placements with a dot. Set the eyelets with a toolset. Link the eyelets in the bottom blocks on the left-hand page using Wire & Wire 4cm longer that the space between the eyelets. Push end of the wire through one eyelet and secure to the back with sticky tape. Hang a butterfly embellishment onto this: the end of the wire passing from top to bottom through the eye the other goes the other way round. This ensure that the embellishment lies flat and in place. 4. Thread the Wire & Wire through the 2nd eyelet and secure with tape. For the wire crosses on the right-hand page cut 8 pieces of wire. Secure 2 pieces through the top eyelets. Thread both from top to bottom through the embellishment so that they cross in the centre of a green square. Secure the ends of the Wire on the back. 5. Stick the Makin's Clay Embellishments on with Pritt Power Stick. 6. Cover the eyelets on the back of the pages with strips of paper.
Instructions Giraffes: 1. Roll the clay out (a clay roller makes this very easy) and use a Texture sheet on it. Use the cutters to cut squares and rectangles out of the textured clay. 2. When dry sponge with a mixture of Aleene's Acrylic paint Teddy bear and a little Deep peach and allow to dry. 3. Mix black paint with deep peach and metallic copper. Dab the high areas of the clay shapes lightly in.
4. On a rolled out sheet of clay draw the letters giraffes with a pointed spatul. Cut the letter tiles out and allow to dry. Trim the tiles further if necessary and then paint them. Remove surplus paint from the letters with a toothpick. 5. Tear green bamboo paper into squares: one 27 x 27 cm, two 14 x 17 cm and one 9 x 11 cm. Stick the largest on the lefthand page with a smaller, torn camel square on top. Stick the photo onto a slightly larger piece of camel paper and then onto a piece of amber paper measuring 16 x 19 cm. 6. Frame the photo with the thin, textured clay blocks. 7. Dab the edges of the 4 x 16 cm piece of amber paper with the brown stamp ink. Glue the letter blocks onto this and stick the completed piece under the photo. 8. For the right hand page cut a piece of camel paper 10,5 x 25,5 cm. Stick 2 photos onto a wide strip of amber paper. 9. Stick clay blocks onto the strip and then the whole lot over 2 torn squares of bamboo paper. Stick a photo onto a slightly larger piece of amber paper and place top left. Tear a strip of camel paper and cut a strip of amber paper. Glue these one on top of the other on the smallest bamboo paper. 10. Stencil the date of the visit to the zoo onto this.
