Thank you like the idea of putting newspaper inside the box to dome the lid 😊

Hi there, can I use Air Dry Clay to make slab boxes like the ones you made today? And is there any advice you could give me concerning trying to do that. Thank you in advance for your help. God bless you richly.

I've never used air dry clay for something like this, so ???
