It's a pirate party!!

Ahoy Mateys, today I'm on the Makin's Clay blog with a pirate partyensemble.

Supplies:

Makin's® Clay - Earth Tones, Black
Makin's Professional® Cutting Mat
ColorBox Art Screen - Rounded
Earth Safe Finishes Gesso
Sizzix Framelits Banner Dies
Molding Paste
Silicone Mold

 

I found this fun pirate silicone mold in a local store.  It's really an ice cube mold, but I knew it would work well for a Makin's clay project.  Using the mold, I created an assortment of embellishments from the blended clay.  To make the embellishments more realistic, I also used black clay on portions of the embellishments. 

 

 

Now that I finished my embellishments, I pulled out a small wood box and painted it.  Then I used the ColorBox Rounded Art Screen to create some dimension.  I used Earth Safe Finishes Gesso to adhere the gauze in the corner.

While waiting for everything to dry,  I created place cards from cardstock.  On the top layer I placed stickers spelling out the children's names.  Then I added additional pirate embellishments to coordinate with the banner.

 

Once the box was dry, I adhered several clay embellishments amongst the gauze as well as another on the front of the box.

 

 

 

The pirate embellishments are adorable and perfect for a pirate party.  Makin's clay is light weight and the embellishments added little weight to the banner and place cards.

 

 

Are you ready for your pirate party?
