I was JUST thinking about that post this week. Sunshine and her friends watch TV and play video games in the loft…maybe I should say they DID watch TV up there until I went up the other day and realized someone had broken a piece off my little Goodwill lamp up there and broken a piece off the little wicker table that belonged to my grandmother. One of the few things I have that belonged to her. After I stressed over the lamp, I realized that you had a post on this and I could fix it. Not sure if I can match the ugly yellow color but I can always paint the whole thing so…thanks for redoing this post!

Thank you for putting up another post about this clay–I remember the first post you wrote on it, but couldn’t remember the exact name. I have an urn lamp that fell victim to a cat and I think this clay will do just the trick to repair it!

HobLob here I come…

Rhoda,
You’re great! You’ve did it again. I found you when I googled painting grout lines. I have a white tiled bath floor with white grout lines (the only bathroom) & four chilren under the age of eight. After reading your answer I ran to Michael’s to get some paint. It turned out perfect. In fact we have a builder putting in some new doors in the bathroom who commented on it. He said he only noticed it was painted because he had to move the shelving that was in there. ( I hadn’t painted there because you can’t see it. )

Now I bought a new to me table & six chairs from GW for $100. It is the kind that opens with one hand& has two leaves hidden inside. The only problem was a dog had chewed the trestle in the center just enough to take the peak off & two of the chairs spindles. I knew I could sand the chair legs, but what to do about that trestle?
Answer: go to Rhoda’s blog read the post & go find paper clay! Thanks so much. I can’t wait to get this started!

I used that paper clay to make Harry Potter Wands. It was great fun. Never thought about using it to make repairs.

I’m having a giveaway too. Please come over and join me. I’ll be back tomorrow to see what you are offering. Can’t wait.

I am so glad I saw this post. I just picked up this beautiful breakfast tray with a ding in the corner for my ottoman at Hobby Lobby for 80% off. And I have been trying to figure out a way to repair it ever since.

Thanks,
Annette

Hey Rhoda, that clay is cool! Why have I never seen or heard of that before? So many things I could fix–Do you know how many boys I have around this house? Not to mention four cats and my crazy dog! I will so be buying some of this to keep on hand.

BTW–I’m having an Uppercase Living giveaway tomorrow!

Thanks again,

Thanks for featuring this versatile product! I recently purchased two pottery birds at an estate sale. I didn’t notice until I brought the birds home that someone (probably long ago) had repaired the beak of one bird with silicone caulk. I pulled off the caulk and tried Sculpey, but the heat-set aspect made this fix imperfect because I didn’t want to set the whole pottery piece in my oven.
