A Crafty Mix has a fantastic tutorial for making clay-baked napkin bowls that look like high-end ceramics. This project requires zero art skills because the paper napkin provides the entire design. You simply roll out some polymer clay, apply your favorite patterned napkin, and bake. The whole process takes about 5 minutes of active work, making it a perfect DIY craft for anyone short on time.
These little bowls are ideal for holding jewelry, or keys. You can find an endless variety of designs just by browsing the party aisle for napkins with vintage florals or geometric prints. Once finished with a clear varnish, they look professional and polished. Just keep in mind that since they are made of paper and clay, they aren’t food-safe or dishwasher-friendly – save them for your dresser or entryway instead.
