Air dry clay is a type of clay that does not require a kiln or oven to harden. It can be found in many craft stores and is a great way to get creative with your projects.
Air dry clay is relatively easy to use and can be used to make a variety of items from jewelry to bowls. To make bowls, you will need to roll out the clay and then use stamps to add patterns and designs. The clay can then be left to dry for a few days before it is ready to be used.
The bowls featured in this article are made from air dry clay and can be made in your own home. The project is relatively easy and requires minimal supplies. You will need stamps to add patterns, an ink pad, sandpaper, a rolling pin, a knife, and bowls that can be used as molds.

How cute! This one looks perfect for an Easter party but it can be an all-year candy dish as well. To make one, you roll the air dry clay and cut a circular piece. You then add long oval pieces for the ears. Place inside a glass bowl that you will use as mold. Let dry overnight. Sand the edges and then add the face details using Sharpie.

Copper Trimmed
/filters:quality(70)/content/o4/bn/cgseha91551829f1e8b98258860928_600x861.jpg)
Adding metallic trim to air dry clay bowls can be accomplished using Sharpie or leaf finishing. The former will give you a more precise look. If you're feeling adventurous, however, adding copper leafing to the circumference is the best way to go.

Marbled

How pretty! This is a fun DIY project using nail varnish. To get the marbled effect on the bottom of your air dry clay bowls, you drop nail varnish in different hues to room temperature water. You mix the droplets using toothpick to get a marbled look. You then dip your bowls into the marble pattern, lift, and let dry. It's that easy.

I love anything with a constellation design so these DIY air dry clay bowls are my favorites. You can make yours by forming a bowl, letting it dry, sanding the edges, and then painting the constellations. One constellation per bowl should be perfect.
