No any practical function, just beautiful memory makeup

Craft supplies

Unfinished display casket from craft store

Acrylic paint - pink and blue (or your favorite colors), paintbrush

Colored sand (we used glittered one, it adds some “wetness” effect to display)

Shells and/or pebbles you brought from your vacation on the sea shore

Directions

Color wooden parts of casket with your favorite colors, let it dry

Fill the bottom of the casket with colored sand, mixing it artistically

Tip: you may want to fill the very bottom with regular sand so you don’t waste your glitter behind the frame

Cast shells and/or pebbles on the sand

Lock the casket

One more tip: postpone making this craft if you are to move Shaking trucks may transform artistic piece into a mess!

Craft supplies

Flexible push mold – family (we had 2 adults and 2 children)

Oven bake clay – beige, about 3 oz, depends on the mold (or different colors, if you prefer not to paint)

Black seed beads – 8 for eyes

Acrylic paint (not needed if you used multicolored clay) – colors that you want to paint them with (what color your clothes are?)

1 picture 4×6’ of an ocean shore or any other beautiful landscape you would like to be on

4×6’ picture frame

Glue gun and glue stick

Directions

Press clay completely into mold. If you use a variety of colors, add colors you want into the section of the mold you want colored, starting from the bottom upward toward the edge

Remove from the mold

Add some details such as eyes (seed beads), noses and smiles (scratch with toothpick), earrings for mom or any else

Tips: the mold we used didn’t have mom’s legs… If you have the same one you can just roll ‘sausages’ yourself

Bake as instructed

While it’s being baked, insert picture in the frame

When figures are ready, let them cool out

Paint as desired (if you used a variety of colors clay, just skip this step) and let it dry

Hotglue figures over the glass
