The gypsum clay handmade tutorial is as follows:

To make something, draw a draft on paper in advance. This step is suitable for beginners or those who are more complicated to make. Take out the clay prepared in advance and cut off as much clay as needed with a utility knife. Remember to put the rest back into a sealed bag or box, otherwise it will dry out quickly.

Just use your hands to knead it according to the look you want. After the general shape is kneaded, the detailed parts or parts need to be kneaded separately. The kneaded part should be slightly moistened with water, and use the tools in the picture. Just slowly merge the two parts. For example, on the rough edges of the buns, I will use a small brush to gently roll them around. The rose branches are toothpicks. After all the clay is kneaded into shape, don't rush to color it, just take it to a dry and ventilated place to dry.

After drying, there is no need to rush to paint first. Use sandpaper to make final repairs. Use sandpaper to smooth out any uneven areas. I use acrylic paint for coloring. The paint should be lightly dipped in water. Don't make it too dry or too thin, otherwise it will be uneven. I first apply the large color blocks, eyes and other details, and then slowly apply them with a very thin outline pen. . The painted clay continues to dry, this time it doesn't take too long, as long as the paint is dry to the touch.

There are two types of gloss oil: matte and gloss, depending on personal preference. I usually choose polish, which comes with a small brush, and I can brush the clay surface until it's OK, just like painting nails. After the bright oil is completely dry, you can prepare the magnet and glue gun. First squeeze out the glue, then stick the magnet on, and you are done with a stone plastic clay refrigerator magnet.

Expand knowledge:

Stone plastic clay is clay processed from stone powder, so it is also called "stone powder clay". Stone plastic clay has a fine texture and excellent plasticity and ductility. Unlike ceramics that are fired at high temperatures, stone plastic clay only needs to be naturally air-dried. After air-drying, it resembles gypsum and has the rough gritty feel of clay. After drying, it has a certain hardness and weight, making it suitable for seal carving, sculpture and other creations. After being coated with special clay varnish, it can show a delicate luster like ceramics.
