Make a tile using the rolling pin and make patterns with the pattern roller. Make holes with a stick and finish the tile neatly. The clay will shrink by approx. 10% so make the tile a little larger than the hole for the frame.

Pull the paper yarn through the holes and tie a knot. Glue all the pieces together and fit it into the frame. Reinforce the back by applying a bit of masking tape.
