Making our Berry Simple DIY Clay Polaroid Holders is wonderful for our social and emotional development for gardeners at any age. The hands-on activity encourages creativity and fine motor skills as gardeners mold and shape the clay. It fosters a sense of accomplishment and pride when we can see the finished product holding cherished memories in the form of Polaroid photos.
Working on this project together can also strengthen family bonds, as it provides an opportunity for meaningful conversations and shared experiences. Younger gardeners can learn the value of patience and perseverance as they wait for the clay to dry and harden, and they experience the joy of giving when they gift their handmade holders to friends or family members.
This simple yet engaging craft not only results in a functional keepsake but also leaves a lasting impact on a gardener’s emotional well-being and creative spirit.
Materials Needed For Our Berry Simple DIY Clay Polaroid Holders:
Air Dry Clay
Paint
Clear Finish Spray (optional)
Polaroid Photos!
Shape the air dry clay into your preferred design, like strawberries, flowers, or a minimalist frame.
Gently press a polaroid into the clay to create a shelf/slot that perfectly fits your photos.
Allow the clay to dry for 24-48 hours, or speed up the process by baking in the oven at the lowest setting for 10 minutes. Adjust the time based on clay thickness; thinner pieces dry faster.
Choose your paint colors, apply them after the clay dries, and let them dry as well. For a glossy finish, consider using a finishing spray.
Insert your photos and enjoy your unique creations!
