Tutorial:Miniature plates using clay

I decided to make mini tutorials on this blog,So this is my first tutorial.It is the tutorial for miniature doll house plates using clay.
You will need:
*A simple plate mold.(I made mine using shilpakar(a type of m-seal used for crafts)For making the mold just cut out a circle out of the clay and let it dry)




*corn starch(corn flour)

*air dry clay or any type of clay

*A circle cutter bigger than the hole you have on your mold(I used a ring)

Steps:
*Roll the clay and cut out a circle using the cutter



*Then add corn starch on the mold.
*Press the circle on the mold using your finger.

*Then after pressing it on the mold remove it carefully by flipping the mold and your plate is ready to use!

Different types of air dry clay I use now



Paper clay                                                                                                                        
The paper clay brand I use is Creations Nara Paper Clay (white)


I add color to it by mixing in paint with it.
Recently I have been using this clay a lot. when I bought this clay and opened it for the first time I was disappointed a lot because I felt like the clay was too hard and crumbly and also not in pure white color.


Then I got some tips online, That the clay will get soft once water is added to it and then I learnt that it dries in a pure white than it is when it is wet, I was also happy with the final dried piece as it was light and very hard so the creations will be durable

Dough kits

The other clay I use is Reynolds Artoons Dough Kit 
and you can find this clay online. I don’t  recommend it though because if the clay dries so much then dots begin to appear on the surface of the clay it is also not as durable as paper clay but if you’re a beginner like me or you don’t want to sell your creations
then this clay is good.

you get tiny packages like these, you get 12 colors of clay and you also get a roller some simple molds too.
This clay is not suit for making charms but it is smooth not like paper clay it tears in a smooth tip 
and also is soft and very silky to mold



 I first identified that this clay is air dry by seeing the instructions.
