i have noticed alot of shops have sea inspired deor in at the moment like anthropologie
i love this time of year because i can get out my coral, and shells and decorate in a nautical theme so i made this vase
you will need
small plastic bottles
air dry clay
kebab skewer
bowl of water
clean out the plastic bottles and dry them, cut a large piece of clay to build up on, place the bottles on to the clay, to make them tilted place a ball of clay and on side of the bottle, and cover them, completely with clay leaving the tops open, then smooth down and use the end of the kebab stick to prick the Clay to make it textured, then take small balls of clay and place the kebab stick into the centre the roll the Clay into a cylinder and mould it on to the the bottom part, make them in different sizes, like the photo above.
i left it white but if you want it to be more realistic you can paint it,
they come it lots of different colours
i was also inspired by this
if you love the ocean
then you really have to check out this giant clam shell tutorial by Lucy at craftberry bush
