Directions

  • Coat all four outside surfaces of a small matchbox with a thin coat of Sobo glue (or another white craft glue). Set it aside to dry.

  • Condition clay. Roll out a sheet of pearl clay to 1/16 inch thick. Using a craft knife or Sculpey Super Slicer, trim the sheet to approximately 4.25 x 2.25 inches.

  • Ink selected stamp or stamps with Memories ink. Press stamp firmly but gently onto sheet of prepared clay. Remove stamp.

  • Add color carefully if desired using craft chalks and small applicators.

  • With a piece of wax paper protecting the stamped surface, wrap the matchbox with the sheet of clay. Press carefully to avoid trapping air and to insure good contact. Trim edges and smooth seams.

  • Mix small portions of coordinating colors of clay with extra pearl clay to create pastel shades. Roll a small amount of this clay into a narrow snake.

  • Cut the snake in half. Wrap each half around a skewer and press one firmly to each side of the covered box.

  • Bake at 275 degrees F for 30 minutes. Cool completely. While the box is baking, paint the drawer, using a fairly dry brush with the Lumiere. Once it is dry, pierce a hole at one end and wire on a bead for the "pull".

  • Optional: Apply one or more coats of Future floor finish or another polymer friendly glaze.

  • Insert finished drawer into box, add cord, and enjoy!
