Pack your chunk of clay into a SMOOTH BALL.
With two hands flatten your ball into a thick hockey puck.
Use the side of your fist to flatten your hockey puck out.
Start from the CENTER and SPIRAL OUT ONCE
FLIP AFTER EVERY SPIRAL (or it will stick!)
If your paper towel becomes too wet, flip it over or replace it!
Wet paper towel will stick to your clay.
Use the rolling pin and roll out FROM THE CENTER!
Make sure you FLIP after every press.
You should have a thin pancake after you are done with the rolling pin.
Use the bowl to cut out a circle from the clay.
Wrap the pastic bowl in paper towel (this wil prevent your clay slab from sticking to the plastic).
Lay the clay slab over the paper towel wrapped bowl
Gently press the slab until it matches the same. Start at the top and go slowly.
Dip the stamp in baby powder.
Brush off the excess.
*If you did not make or get a stamp. Please use a clay tool to make a PATTERN
IF YOU PRESS --> IT WILL GET STUCK
