Have you embraced the chevron pattern trend? Are you ready to start decorating with chevron patterns? There are numerous projects from wall art to light switch plates, but today I will show you how to make chevron letters out of air-drying clay. This project is appropriate for both kids and adults and can be completed in an afternoon or less. Happy crafting!
- Air-Dry Clay
- Acrylic Paint ( we’ve used yellow)
- Brushes
- Masking Tape
- Ribbon (in various colors)
How To (Part One):
- Unpack the air-drying clay.
- Cut it in three equal pieces.
- Start to roll each piece until it is approx. 8inch long.
- Carefully shape them into a the desired letter.
Flatten and smoothen all surfaces (you can use your fingers or a knife) , the edges should
all have about 90 degree angles.
Let it dry according to the instructions on the package. I let it dry over night.
How To (Part Two):
- Punch a little hole in each letter, this is where we attach the ribbon later.
- Cut masking tape in little strips, about 1inch long and start taping the first letter.
The tape should be the shape of a 90 degree angle. Press the tape firmly onto the letter and start painting.
- Repeat step 3.
- Repeat step 3. Let the paint dry for 10 minutes and then remove the tape.
- Run the ribbon through the little holes and you are finished.
