\nHi Guys.. these days I am very much in to DIY and I plan to add more
\nposts on the same.. my today’s post is something related to a new medium
\n which I am trying .. yes its Clays <\/a>\ud83d\ude42 .. This particular DIY is made using air dry clay from Mungyo<\/a>. So before I start on how I did it .. here are some pics of the same –<\/p>\n

\nNow on how I did it and some more closeups –
\n\"\"
\nMy inspiration for this post was whimseybox<\/a>..
\n She had used ceramic tiles which I did not have handy.. Hence I am
\nimprovised and used air dry clay.. Since its air dry clay you need to
\nwork fairly quickly with it.. You approximately have an hour to work
\nwith shaping it and than it starts hardening.. I kneaded clay a bit and
\nthan rolled it out using a rolling pan.. I have used Fast track watches
\nlid as my cookie cutter to cut the shape..  Once the shape was cut out
\nyou let it dry.. One tip while drying see to it that you coasters don’t
\nstart being, straighten them out in regular periods.. I let the dry for 2
\n – 3 days before working on them.. Once they were completely dry I used
\nanother one of my favorite product these days The paint markers <\/a>to
\n doodle or whatever the design you want to.. I decided to go with the
\nwords and I have used black paint marker to write them down.. The sides
\nare colored using gold paint marker.. I have than added coats of marine
\nfevicol to protect the coasters from water (the marine fevicol provides a
\n good and cheap alternative to Mod podge if you have patience for the
\nfevicol to dry).. It takes 2 -3 days for fevicol to dry which also adds
\nglossy look to the coasters .. Once dry add some foam sheets<\/a>
\n on the behind to provide a flat base to the coasters.. I have used
\nglitter foams as I had them handy .. So here are some more pics of the
\nsame –<\/p>\n
