Making Clay Tools Using Amazing Mold Putty

// September 23rd, 2012 // Blog, Mixed Media, Journals & Papercraft

I have been working with clay a lot lately and I have been on the search for the perfect clay tools. I really wanted some soft, pliable tools to use in places where my fingers are just too big. I was unable to find what I had in mind, so I decided to make my own.

I had a clay tool with a nice long handle, so I decided to make soft, interchangeable covers that would go on the end of the handle.

I mixed up equal amounts of part A and part B of my Amazing Mold Putty and while it was in the ‘molding’ phase, I molded it into the desired tool shape and pulled some of the putty down around the handle. I let it set for 15 minutes and then made the next shape. Within an hour I had created the exact tools I had been searching for, for months! They are the perfect tool for clay because they are soft, flexible and smooth.

I hope you enjoyed this project and I hope it helps you to create your own clay tools using unconventional items:)
