Steps (16 steps, 35 minutes)

  1. 1

    For this project, you'll need a wine glass and some air drying clay.

  2. 2

    Starting with a small ball of clay, roll it out into a log and then place it at the neck of the glass, shape it at the top so that it's creeping up the glass like a tentacle.

  3. 3

    Continue this around the neck of the glass, making some tentacles longer than others.

  4. 4

    Now add the clay around the stem of the glass towards the base at the bottom.

  5. 5

    Add a few small tentacles around the base of the glass.

  6. 6

    Get a small cake fork.

  7. 7

    Scrape down the clay to create a wood like effect with the cake fork.

  8. 8

    Pick out some crystals for your glass and cut a length of pearl chain.

  9. 9

    Wrap the pearl chain around the top and bottom of the stem, pressing into the clay.

  10. 10

    Remove the pearl chain, making sure that the pearl shapes are imprinted in the clay.

  11. 11

    Do the same for the crystals, embedded them to leave their shape and then removing.

  12. 12

    Leave the clay to dry overnight before painting with silver metallic paint.

  13. 13

    Once the paint has dried, regather the embellishments.

  14. 14

    Use a glue gun to stick the pearl chain in place.

  15. 15

    Then glue on the crystals.

  16. 16

    Your goblet is ready to use!
