Based on the provided reference, making a clay garland involves creating clay pieces, attaching them to twine, and securing the twine. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Prepare Your Twine: Cut a piece of twine to your desired garland length. Remember to leave some extra length on each end for hanging or tying.
-
Attach Clay Pieces: (The provided excerpt doesn't detail how to make the clay pieces or how to attach them, but it implies they are pre-made). Assuming you have clay pieces with holes:
- String the clay pieces onto the twine. Space them evenly or according to your desired design.
-
Secure the Ends: Wrap any excess wire around the twine to help hold the clay pieces in place and prevent them from sliding too much (this assumes wire is used in the clay piece construction itself).
-
Final Touches: Trim any excess twine. The garland is now ready to hang.
It is important to note that the given excerpt is brief and assumes knowledge of clay piece creation. More detailed instructions would include:
- Clay Preparation: Suggesting types of clay (air dry, polymer, etc.), methods of shaping, and creating holes for stringing.
- Attachment Methods: If holes aren't pre-made, outlining alternative attachment strategies like gluing or wrapping the twine directly around the clay shapes.
