#269 – Soccer Ball Magnet
Clay Casting Project

A fun project for soccer fans of all ages!

Materials Needed:

1 Rycraft cookie stamp or craft stamp #269 – Soccer Ball
Clay* - we used Creative Paperlay® which air dries to a paintable pure white (no oven needed)

1 clay casting* - #269 – Soccer Ball (see Basic Clay Casting Instructions)
1 2" round cookie cutter

Sandpaper or emery board (fine grit)
Acrylic primer (optional)

Acrylic clear varnish (optional)

Acrylic paints: white, black
Tacky glue or hot glue

1 magnet (from a craft store)

*Note:  Alternately, the casting for this project may be made from paper instead of clay (see Basic Paper Casting Instructions). The choice is yours.

Instructions:

1.  While clay is wet, cut out casting using cookie cutter. Let dry.
2.   Sand rough edges smooth.
3.  Optional: Apply primer and let dry.
4.  Apply black paint as shown and let dry. Apply white paint and let dry.

5.  Optional:  Apply a coat of varnish for permanence. Note: Varnish will leave a more glossy finish.

5.  Use strong glue to attach magnet to back.
