What You'll Need Materials Oven-bake polymer clay by Sculpey Scallop-edged cookie cutter Rolling pin Small oven-safe bowl Paint brush Polymer varnish by Golden Fruit temporary tattoos by Meri Meri Sponge Instructions Roll your clay in the palm of your hands to form a ball. On a clean working surface, roll the clay to about 1/4 inch thickness with a rolling pin. Using a scallop-edged cookie cutter, punch out circles from the clay. Apply a temporary tattoo to the clay: Trim the edges around the tattoo design, peel the shiny film off and gently apply the tattoo face-down on the clay. Anusha Rajeswaran Place the circle of clay into a small oven-safe bowl to create a soft bowl shape. Dampen the back of the tattoo and apply light pressure. Slowly peel the paper away (or slide it off). Bake the clay in the oven-safe bowl according to package instructions. (Tip: We baked ours at 200º F for 10 minutes.) Let cool completely, then apply a layer of polymer varnish to the tattoo design or the entire dish to seal and protect it.
