[Adult Craft] Ideas for Relaxing Home Decor and Accessories Made with Paper Clay

smartphone stand

A DIY paper-clay smartphone stand that anyone can make easily

A smartphone stand that’s handy when you want to prop up your phone.

You can buy one at a 100-yen shop, but it’s also easy to make with paper clay, so give it a try! First, shape the clay into a square and let it dry.

Once it’s dry, cut out the section where the phone will rest.

Be sure to carve it at a slight angle so the screen doesn’t tilt forward when the phone is placed on it.

After that, sand it down until it’s smooth, and you’re done.

Its very simple look means it should fit in with any room.

Super Sazae (Splatoon)

[Splatoon] How to Make a Super Sea Snail [Paper Clay]

Let’s try making the Super Sea Snail—an item you can get as a Splatfest reward in the shooting game Splatoon—out of clay! Its shape is just like a real sea snail, with a spiral shell and little horns.

First, stack several oval-shaped pieces of different sizes to form the shell, then attach the horns.

You’ll be drawing the face at the very bottom of the oval stack, so decide that spot ahead of time.

After painting the whole thing blue, use green and purple paint to add patterns.

Finish by drawing the face, and you’re done! It might make a perfect summer decoration, too.

Marshmallow

[Sweets Deco] I used an entire pack of paper clay to make marshmallows♪

Let’s try expressing marshmallows—their soft texture and subtle sweetness that becomes addictive—using clay.

Once you shape the clay into marshmallow forms, decorate them with chocolate cream made from Modena Paste and colorful mints.

You can leave the clay white, but mixing in a bit of paint to add color creates variety and is recommended.

Real marshmallows are simple, but since this is sweets deco, go ahead and make them intentionally colorful.

Once they’re dry, display them in a dish or similar container.

green pepper

A video of making green peppers out of paper clay at home on a day off

How about making a “green bell pepper” as a simple clay project? At first glance it looks smooth, but it actually has ridges at the top and bottom and a surprisingly complex shape.

Start with a lump of clay the same size as a bell pepper, and gradually carve it to form the shape.

Once the form is done, let it dry and paint it.

Use green, white, black, and yellow to capture the pepper’s glossy surface.

If you place a real bell pepper next to you while you work, it’ll be easier to notice the differences in light and dark tones, even within the same green.
