Mandilicious Christmas: Magnetic Geo Planter
Have a few people still on your list? Yea, me too. Its ok though, because today I have a project that will simultaneously check them off your list and let you take out all of your holiday stresses on a hunk of clay! Win win!!
To make this project you will need:
Clay (we Amaco Air Dry Clay from the craft store ) The clay takes about 24 hours to dry
A marker or something to make a hole.
Magnets
Acrylic Paint
Tools to smooth and cut (if you have a set of Cricut tools, they are AWESOME! if you don’t you can totally use a butter knife and a credit card!)
Here is how we did it:
A few things to note:
If you let the clay dry for a few hours before you start cutting the geometrics off then you will get harder corners (which is a good thing!)
If you are using Air Dry, you have to paint it to be able to water the plants (otherwise it will just remoisten the clay) If you want it to be clay colored you can buy the type of clay that gets baked.
