You Will Need (5 things)

  • Bowl
  • Newspaper
  • Pencil
  • Gold Sharpie
  • White Paint

Steps (5 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    This is how the bowl looked initially before I went ahead and painted the entire bowl in a bright orange color.

  2. 2

    For the Aztec Design part I cut out stencils from an old newspaper nothing to fancy. Cut out two sizes one was large and the other one was a bit smaller.

  3. 3

    I placed the larger stencil in the middle and traced an outline with a pencil and the smaller stencils i traced around the entire rim of the bowl.

    After that I took out my white paint and with a really thin pointed brush started filling in the design.

  4. 4

    When that was all filled and painted, I went over the larger design in the middle with Pastel Green Paint and outlined the entire design.
    Also I outlined all the designs with a Gold Sharpie.

  5. 5

    And that is how you make an Aztec Inspired Clay Bowl.
