The Mom I Want to Be

Polymer Clay:  Colors as desired

Colored Wire:  20-gauge Metallic

Beads & Buttons:  Assorted

Place the clay between two pieces of waxed paper and flatten with a rolling pin.   Fold and stack the clay. Press down gently to remove air pockets.  Cut out 3^-inch squares or 4-inch circles using a crafts knife.  Snip off shanks of buttons. Bend small pieces of  gold wire into shapes. Press buttons, wire, and beads into clay. Bake according to the manufacturer’s directions.  If desired, brush the coaster surface with glaze for protection.
