4. Bowl-Style Ashtray with Raised Rim
A bowl-style ashtray is ideal for containing ashes neatly. You will need air dry clay, a rolling pin, a small bowl, and a sculpting tool. Roll out a slab of clay and drape it over the small bowl to form the basic shape. Smooth the edges and pinch the rim to create a raised border.
Make grooves or notches for cigarette rests using a small tool. Let the clay dry completely, then sand the rim to remove uneven edges. You can paint or glaze it if desired. This ashtray is practical, easy to clean, and adds a simple yet elegant touch to any space.
