Step-by-Step Execution Guide

  • Bake thin, flat sheets of polymer clay in various accent colors (terracotta, mustard, black, blush, and sage) for 15 minutes.

  • Once cool, chop the baked colored clay sheets into tiny, irregular geometric confetti flakes using a craft knife.

  • Roll out a fresh slab of raw white polymer clay. Scatter the colorful baked chips across the raw white surface.

  • Roll over the slab firmly with an acrylic roller to press the chips flush into the white base.

  • Cut into an oval or round dish shape and curve inside a slump bowl.

  • Bake the entire assembled dish at $275^circtext{F}$ ($135^circtext{C}$) for 30 minutes, sand the surface completely smooth with wet sandpaper, and apply a satin sealer.
