When it comes to gifts for Mom, handmade is always a great choice! Knowing that thought, creativity, and time were put into a little something special for her will warm her heart. This DIY is simple and flexible with endless possibilities, so each piece will be unique and useful. Here, we will discuss 3 different ideas for using air dry clay as a simple passive diffuser to apply Essential Oils to. All you need is a few tools to get started, so let’s have some fun.
What You’ll Need:
How to Make it:
First lay out a piece of wax paper or parchment paper onto your flat surface. Next, use your rolling pin to roll the clay out to about ¼” thick. Now is the fun part, get creative using your shapes to cut out clay pieces and decorate them as you wish using your stamps, leaves, toothpicks etc.
See below for details on different ideas.
Lastly, let the clay air dry for 24-48 hours.
Necklace:
If you would like to make a necklace, use a shape that will look nice as jewelry and isn’t too big. After you cut it and decorate it, use a straw to make a hole in the top of the clay piece.
Once it is dry, tie a string or twine through the hole to create a necklace.
Bookmark:
To make a bookmark, you can use a longer rectangle shape cutter or use a sharp knife to cut the piece into a rectangle (1” x 4” is a good size). If you are using a design on your bookmark, you may want to press it in first before you cut to size so that it fits nicely. Then, use a straw to make a hole at the top of the clay rectangle.
Once it is dry, you can tie a ribbon or tassel through the hole.
Desk Decor:
This is where you can get really fancy with your project and create any shape or design you want. You could also use multiple colors of pieces to create unique shapes. Just remember that if you layer the clay, it will take longer to dry.
Some cute ideas would be a heart shape, flowers, leaves, or stars.
