How to Make a Flower Photo Frame [Paper Clay, Photo Stand, Wing Silk]

Let’s try making a photo frame using paper clay.

First, use lightweight clay to create the frame.

For the flowers, use colored clay.

Roll small balls of clay, snip the center with scissors to form petals, shape them, and then attach them to the frame.

Use a variety of colors—red, blue, yellow, pink, and more—to make it vibrant and colorful.

Once the clay for the frame and flowers has dried, create the photo insert using a clear file, and make a stand for the frame with clay to finish it off.

It’s a frame that will last a long time, making it perfect as a gift.

Creating papier-mâché clay objects can be a lot of fun.

You’re free to choose any motif you like, so feel free to brainstorm.

Using characters from your favorite anime or games is a great idea—once you finish, you’ll probably feel even more attached to your piece.

You could also go with a summery theme, or try making animals or people.

By the way, when you’re making it, using styrofoam sold at 100-yen shops as a base will make the process go more smoothly.

When it comes to cool dinosaurs that boys love, the Tyrannosaurus is number one! So this time, let’s make a Tyrannosaurus out of paper clay.

First, create the dinosaur’s base using aluminum wire and cardboard.

Once the base is ready, add volume with paper clay.

After the clay dries, paint it and add patterns and facial details.

When the paint dries, it’s finished! If you want your Tyrannosaurus to stand on its own, be sure to fix the wire in the legs to the base before adding the clay.

Animal clay

This craft involves dividing paper clay into parts, then assembling them, painting them, and finishing them in the shape of an animal.

First, check what combination of shapes makes up the animal you want to create, and make parts that match the appropriate sizes and shapes.

After that, attach the parts, refine the overall form, and add colors and patterns to complete it.

If you use a paper plate as a base and attach the pieces onto it, it will look like a three-dimensional picture—highly recommended, too.
