Getting Started

Condition clay by kneading in your hands until warm and pliable.

Mix Blue and White EZ Shape® Modeling clay together to obtain the desired shade of light blue.

Step 3

Spread the light blue clay as thin as possible over the plate. Make sure the entire front of the plate is covered.

Step 4

Use other EZ Shape colors to add details – gravel, fish, bubbles, seaweed, etc.

Step 5

Punch a hole in the top and hang with string.
