Jar lid castle

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.
