Roll the ball of dough to make a flat slab with a rolling pin.
Leave the slab to semi-dry.
You will need an MDF wooden square coaster that measures 4” x 4”in size, recycled tissue roll and 2 used PVC pipes to make the bark of the tree that is shaped like a pen, pencil and a stationery holder.
Cover the tissue roll and the PVC pipes with the rolled slab of clay.
Take some clay, shape the clay to make the branches on the bark.
Create texture all over by giving an effect of a bark with clay carving tools
Paint the textured bark holders and the coaster using Acrylic Colours – Burnt Sienna 01, Black 02, Dark Brown 05, Dark Green 06, Light Green 12 and Leaf Green 62.
Stick the bark holders on the painted coasters using Fabric Glue.
