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!!

Making a Shape

Just watch the video.

Just follow the direction on the box of clay to bake.
For sculpey you should only have to bake at 275 for about 15 minutes
Don't forget to preheat your oven!

Sanding

Sand. Start out very rough just loosen out the shape so it is more round and looks like the beginning picture.
Next use smooth sand paper to really buff it.
sand till you enjoy the shape.

Painting.

Now take your silver spray paint from your holster and shake it up. Spray evenly around your top.
tips
-make sure your in a well ventilated area ( I did this in my backyard )
-make sure you wait patiently for the paint to dry otherwise this might damage your paint job
-spray evenly from a few feet away to get a smooth layer of paint.
