Rustic Clay Tags - 'Soap"

I absolutely love the little mason jar soap dispenser I shared with you this weekend.

A few of my friends have liked them as well so I've made a few extra!

Today I wanted to show you how quick and easy it is to make the little tags for decoration out of clay.

While attempting to watch tv the other night, I grabbed a cookie sheet, a sheet of tin foil, an old cookie cutter with a scallop edge and my Sculpy clay.  After rolling and flattening them {yes, they have imperfections- lends to the hand crafted feel} I used my little stamp set I had found at our local Walmart to gently imprint each letter into the clay.  I actually pumped out quite a few very quickly along with some other words I liked and baked them according to the directions on the clay

Once they were cool, each were given a quick coat of a coffee brown glaze, simply made from water and coffee bean acrylic paint.  Allowed to set just for a few seconds, then wiped with a paper towel.

The brown paint gently stains the surface.

Just do not wipe out all of the paint from the indented letters!

Each tag received a coat of satin water based poly and were allowed to dry.

When finished you have cute little clay tags to add some rustic decoration to your favorite things!
