Jazz up your fridge and notice boards at home or in the office with magnetic clay words! I love written messages but sometimes I like to be different and add some colors to my messages. These word clay magnets are very easy to make. =)
This is what I used:
- 2 blocks of 2-oz Sculpey Oven Bake Clay
- Alphabet stamp
- Clear plastic sheet or transparency
- Rolling pin
- Sharp cutter
- Magnet tape
- Scissors
- Superglue
- Oven
(I did not manage to take pictures while doing this batch of words, so I have used pictures from a previous project.)
This is what I did:
- Roll the clay out on to the clear plastic sheet to about 3mm in thickness.
- Using the magnet tape as a guide, cut out strips of clay with the sharp cutter.
- Stamp as many words onto the clay strips as you like, cutting them out as you go along.
- Arrange the words into a baking tray and bake the clay in the oven as per instructions on the Sculpey packaging - 130 degree Celsius or 275 degree Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes. My oven is a bit hot and so I baked mine for about 12 minutes.
- After the clay has cooled and hardened, attached the magnet tape to the back. For extra security, I put 2 tiny drops of superglue at each end of the tape to ensure that the magnet sticks to the clay super well.
