This is my first blog post and it's about how to make a jar lid castle. I made it out of an olive jar lid, air dry clay and model acrylics. This is a very quick and easy project that you can whip up anytime with the right materials.
Step 1: Find a jar lid (make sure that its very clean)
Step 2: Buy some clay, it doesn't matter what type.
Step 3: Form a cylinder of clay about 1"wide and as tall as you want. mine was 1" but you can make yours as tall as you want.
Step 4: Get a knife (preferably a modelling knife) and carve out a winding pathway up to the top of the cylinder.
Step 5: Smooth the pathway with a q-tip/cotton bud until it's fur comes off.
Step 6: Construct a castle. Be creative.
Step 7: Make a ball of clay and then mush it into a flat circle and attach it to the top of the pathway
Step 8: Attach the castle to the circle and place it on the jar lid.
Step 9: Paint it.
And finally have a pancake.
