5. Cut each circle of paper up into random pieces, varying direction.  Make sure as you cut that they piece together to cover the entire round of clay.

6. Paint thin layer of Mod Podge onto clay round.  Allow it to dry a minute and place the paper pieces on top.  As the Mod Podge dries press down paper to ensure a good adhesion.  Allow to dry fully.
