DIY GIFT IDEAS PT.2 - DIY AIR DRY CLAY RING 💍 ⁣
⁣
I have been on an air dry clay kick for a while now, but one thing I have been wanting to make are rings! ⁣
⁣
This project takes almost no time and costs LESS THAN $10 PER RING! I highly recommend. ⁣
⁣
You can make a few rings + pair them with a new jewelry case as the perfect holiday gift! ⁣
⁣
Supplies (Linked in My Bio):⁣
✨Air Dry Clay⁣
✨Acrylic Paint⁣
✨Paintbrushes ⁣
✨Sandpaper ⁣
✨UV Glue (or Mod Podge)⁣
✨UV Light (Optional) ⁣
⁣
Steps:⁣
1️⃣ Make Clay Ring: Wrap the clay around your finger for the proper sizing. ⁣
2️⃣ Bake Ring: (You can let it dry naturally, but I prefer to use the oven) Place ring on parchment paper that is on top of a baking tray. Put tray into oven. Bake on 200° for as long as it takes for ring to dry out! ⁣
3️⃣ Smooth Out Ring: Use sandpaper to smooth out your ring and make it even all the way around.⁣
4️⃣ Seal Ring: You can 100% use Mod Podge, but I got a multi-pack of UV Glue that I have been loving more! ***MAKE SURE TO TAKE PROPER PRECAUTIONS WITH UV GLUE!!!***⁣

Pulse Check: How are you doing? Like *actually* ⁣⁣(Feel free to vent) 
⁣⁣
I personally am not doing well. And then what’s worse is that I feel like I don’t have the *right* to not be doing well when there are literal genocides happening across the globe. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The past month and a half I have felt like I haven’t had enough hours in the day (an extra 3-5 hours daily would be perfect tbh). There’s too much to do, too much to plan, and so much work. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Having (technically) two jobs feels more taxing than normal even though I have less on my plate when it comes to content creation. Which I think is honestly adding to the stress.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Regardless, I feel like every day, I’m just trying to make it to the end of the day. To the next weekend. But it’s all going by so quickly I feel like I can’t catch my breath.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m not sure if you’ll read this ESSAY of a caption, but I want to be transparent with you. Because that’s what my platform is all about. I miss being open and honest on here.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So if you feel this way too, know you’re not alone. And that I FEEL YOU. And I’m proud of you. ❤️⁣

DIY GIFT IDEAS PT.1 - POLKA DOT CANDLES 🎁⁣
⁣
This DIY took less than 20 minutes AND cost less than $30! I love colorful candlesticks, but you can also go with neutrals as well! Doing white candlesticks with black/brown polka dots would be cute too. ⁣
⁣
While it’s easy to just buy a set of candlesticks and holders, it’s nice to make them a bit more unique by adding designs or polka dots! ⁣
