Step One:
Slice off 1/8 inch thick slices from your scrap clay to cover the frame. |
|
Step Two:
Wrap the scrap clay around to the back. It doesn't have to cover all the way around but enough to hook it on
to the frame. |
|
Step three:
Wrap entire frame. This gives you a sturdy surface and a background to stick your Silly Milly slices to. You can use a roller to smooth it out if you plan on having part of it show.

Step four:
Pinch your round and square canes to make them more triangle or leaf shaped. If the cane is hard warm it in your hands by rolling it gently. Then pinch all along one edge to make it the desired shape. |
|
Step five:
Slice your canes about 1/8 or thinner. If you have a limited amount of a certain design you may want to slice it all up to see how many slices you have. Then when you press them to frame start on the outside and make it symetrical on all sides. On this frame I started on the corners. |
|
Step six:
Keep adding on slices until you have filled an entire row around. |
|
Step seven:
Add on the following rows. It's your choice how much you want to overlap. You may fit in two rows, three rows or more. |
|
Finished Frame
Here's my finished frame. As you can see I made sort of a center piece in the top by overlapping even more slices in the center.
Bake at 275 degrees for 30 minutes. An oven thermometer is highly recommended. |
