Making the Incense Hole for Clay Mushroom Incense Burner

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Melina and welcome to Expert Village. Today we are going to make a beautiful mushroom and butterfly incense burner out of polymer clay. For this last step you're going to take your poking device, you're going to grab on to the mushroom cap and you're going to make the hole for the incense. And you want to go about two inches deep. You want to make sure that the incense that you put inside is going to hold up, and if you make the hole too short it's not going to be able to hold up. You want to go around and also move it around inside and make it about an eighth of an inch thick. Then you want to hold up your mushroom, make sure that everything is as you like it, grass, butterfly, gems. And then, we are going to bake it."
