Doing |
Get some modelling clay and
make a ball in your hands.
Put the ball onto a tray or appropriate surface and roll it out flat
with a rolling pin. It needs to be about 1 cm thick.
Then draw your picture with an old ballpoint pen. You need to press hard into the clay. When finished your design, add a border with a fancy pattern around it and carefully take off the excess clay around the border using a plastic knife. When you are happy with your design, carefully brush on a thin layer of paint with a soft brush. Once it's covered, take a piece of paper and place it on top. Run your hand firmly over the paper. Take back the paper to reveal the print underneath. If you want to repeat or print in a different colour, clean gently the excess of painting with a kitchen roll paper and start again. |
