Making Handles for Tools out of Clay

If you have a small blade, screwdriver head, or other similar object, that you can't use because it doesn't have a handle, this instructable can help you. I'm going to show you how you can make a handle out of clay.

Step 1: What You'll Need

Pretty much all you will need for this is clay, and whatever you're making a handle for. Since I'm making tools to carve soft clay with, I'm using paperclips as blades.

The corn starch clay always shrinks internally for me, leaving a lot of hollow space inside a thin outer wall. How do you prevent this or isn't it a problem?

I've never really noticed that happen, but maybe If you compact the clay so it's really dense, it might help. I'm not really sure though, sorry.
