I have found that making clay things is one of the best ways to get creative with arts and crafts. I have spent hours upon hours making clay creations. Some of my personally favorite things to make are : Beads, Runes, Bowls, And Incense burners.
Here is a quick totorial on how to make some Runes [ For those of you who don't know what runes are, they are a type of divination, much like astrology, or tarot cards, just fun to learn to read and play around with]
What you'll need
-Clay : Get it at hobby Lobby
-Bowl of water
-Paint brushes, pottery tools
-Towel
You mold the clay by rolling it between your hands they will look like skipping stones , if they are lumpy mold them with fingers, or a paintbrush.
Then decided what alphabet you will use on them, Mine have the elder FUTHARK. You then take a sharp pottery tool, and mold the design of the letters into the clay stones.
Let dry over night, them paint to your liking, using color charts or for fun.
