How to Make Marbled Clay Coasters

1. Choose 3-5 colors of modeling clay.

2. On a flat surface, roll each clay color into strips about 5 inches long. For your primary color (or white), make a roll slightly smaller than the diameter of a quarter. Make smaller rolls of secondary/highlight colors. The amount of each color you use will change the look and feel of the final project.

3. Twist the rolls together in a chain. Roll and gently stretch until smooth and well incorporated. Fold in half and twist several times. Roll and stretch the twisted clay. Repeat until you like what you see. The colors will start out chunky, but the more you repeat, the colors will blend and the striations will become finer.

4. Roll your chain into a ball, and flatten with your palm on a smooth surface.

5. Using a rolling pin or acrylic roller, flatten out the ball to at least 3.5 inches in diameter. Check for any apparent bubbles trapped in the clay. You can remove with a pin if necessary. Pick up to make sure it doesn’t stick to the board.

6. Place your 3.5 inch circle cutting shape on top of the clay. Trace around with a craft cutting knife. Remove excess.

7. In the center, stamp the monogram if desired.

8. Bake at 275 degrees F for 15 minutes for every ¼ inch thickness. Let cool completely.

9. Using a small brush, paint the monogram and the edges if you desire.
