Here is version two of these DIY clay ring dishes! First, I made some in white with stamped designs. I love how those look, but keeping the white clay as clean as possible is a bit stressful. The marbled dishes, on the other hand, are so addictive and relaxing!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Premo Sculpey in a coordinating colors (approximately 2oz per bowl)
• Rolling pin or smooth glass jar
• Parchment paper or wax paper
• Circle to trace (approximately 4″)
• Bowl or other oven-safe mold
• Optional: sandpaper
• Paint brush
• Gold paint
• Clear glossy varnish

Here’s how to do it:

• Make strips of clay in each color you want to include. Twist and roll them together until you get the amount of mixing you want.

• Using a parchment or wax paper work surface, roll the marbled clay flat – about 1/4″ thick

• Cut out the circle – you can take the cut-off edges and add them to your next marbled bowl, so each one is unique!

• Place your circle on your mold – I tried it on the outside of a bowl, but I think inside would be better, if you have the right size, because the mold indented the surface slightly

• Bake according to the instructions for the clay

• Let it cool, and sand rough edges
• Paint rim with gold paint
• Coat with clear varnish

Here are some progress shots and the final products!

Here is how to start the marbling process:

This is what the bowls looked like out of the oven.

Next step: gold paint on the rim!

Last step: clear gloss varnish!

I’m seriously addicted to making these bowls… can you guess what’s up next?!
