Hello all you people who know who I am, I was being geeky and decided to make an Inception Top.. OUT OF CLAY!
Anyone with a little clay experience will find this to be a fairly simple task that can be done in 30+ min. 
It isn't hard so lets get to it!
I didn't see any other tutorials so i thought I would give it a shot.

Well when I started this project I wanted to make a mold and mass produce these, apparently I SUCK AT MOLDS. Seriously. I got resin all over the table and burned myself quite a few times. SO to do this we only need a few items. :D
-Sculpting clay that you can put into the oven(sculpey is the brand I used)
-Your oven.
-silver spray paint or whatever color you want your top to be
-sandpaper
-YOUR IMAGINATION!!

What I was planning on doing is use a cheap plastic top from say a dollar store and mold it around it to make it more symetrical and wil spin better.

Also, you could use air dry clay. It's less of a hassle.

But great instructable :)

Awhh, I thought it was balanced or something so it would appear to be spinning for an infinite amount of time :(
Oh well, It still looks cool.
