Instructions

  1. Small 110512 2f2015 08 20 131935 img 2016

    Divide your clay evenly into 8.

  2. Small 110512 2f2015 08 20 131944 img 2019

    Break the clay into 8 balls.

  3. Small 110512 2f2015 08 20 131951 img 2020

    Divide each ball into two lumps and find something cylindrical around the same size as your rolled up napkins. A small tub of mod podge was perfect for my ones.

  4. Small 110512 2f2015 08 20 132008 img 2021

    Press one of the clay balls flat and place the cylinder through the middle creating a hole. Remove the cylinder and smooth the hooped clay shape with your fingers.

  5. Small 110512 2f2015 08 20 132043 img 2022

    Divide the second lump into four smaller lumps and roll two out into long sausages and shape the other two into ears.

  6. Small 110512 2f2015 08 20 132117 img 2023

    Place the long sausage shape around the outline of the ear.

  7. Small 110512 2f2015 08 20 132126 img 2024

    Attach the ears to the napkin ring and smooth flat at the back.

  8. Small 110512 2f2015 08 20 132159 img 2025

    Place some crystals in the middle of the ears at the front and smooth out the shape.

  9. Small 110512 2f2015 08 20 132208 img 2026

    Continue making the rest of your napkin rings, alternating between your favourite animals.

  10. Small 110512 2f2015 08 20 132225 img 2027

    Leave to dry for at least a day.

  11. Small 110512 2f2016 01 04 121539 img 2476

    Paint the rings with silver paint, being careful not to paint the gems.

  12. Small 110512 2f2016 01 04 121543 img 0404

    Leave them to dry and they're all ready for your next dinner party!
