Step 1: Lightly spray your favorite Shade-Tex® Texture Plate with water, to act as a "mold release".

Step 2: Place the flattened piece of conditioned clay on the Shade-Tex® Texture Plate and roll the clay with a rolling pin to emboss the texture. If using a pasta machine, pass clay through the widest setting.

Step 3: Peel the clay away from the Shade-Tex(® Texture Plate and place it textured side face down.

Step 4: Place the light switch cover face down on the clay. Trim with 1/4" selvage.

Step 5: Wrap the edge of the clay up and around the sides of the light switch cover and trim it to the back edge.

Step 6: Trim and open up the area for switch and screws.

Step 7: Flip the piece over and apply Pearl Ex colors to the high relief areas of the textured design.

Step 8: Bake clay/switch plate as directed by manufacturers' instructions. Cool.

Step 9: Use the small paint brush and add a color wash of Lumiere paint to the clay surface. Interesting effects can be achieved by using contrasting colors. Use a damp cloth to remove excess.

Step 10: Allow to air dry.

Step 11: Install and enjoy!
