How to Make a Jewelry Trinket
<strong>Step 1: Prepare the Clay and Napkin</strong>
Get a chunk of clay, roll it out, and flatten it. Remove the backing paper from the printed napkin and lay it on top of the clay, pressing gently to adhere.
<strong>Step 2: Cut the Shape</strong>
Use a cookie cutter or a mason jar lid to cut the clay and napkin into shape. Remove any excess clay and napkin around the edges.
<strong>Step 3: Seal and Finish</strong>
Apply Mod Podge over the surface, transfer it to a muffin pan, and press gently down the center to create a slight dip. Let it dry overnight. Once dry, add gold paint around the edges and apply gloss varnish for a shiny finish.
