Materials and tools you will need: white stoneware /earthware clay, - a thick piece of plastic (cut it from a ziplock plastic bag) - pen, - a knife - a rolling pin - 2 wooden sticks (5 mm thick), - brushes and acrylic paints
Thin the clay with the rolling pin. The thickness of the piece should be approximately 5 mm.
Draw a mushroom on the plastic sheet and then place that sheet onto the clay and copy the drawing. Contour the drawing with the knife. Make a hole for the tie. Let it dry. It might take from several hours to days.
Bake it. Use your oven minding to follow the baking instructions on the cover of the clay you bought.
Paint it when it is ready.
Your beautiful mushroom is ready for use in your garden or your pots!
