Hi, my name is Jeff....and I am a Skull. My mom got me at Lowes and my eyes are supposed to glow. SUPPOSED to GLOW...but they don't. And even though my eyes don't glow, she decided to keep me anyway...I have the BEST mom EVER. Would you like to know how to make a coooool skull ornament that's almost as cute as me? Well, read on and I'll tell you how I did it...
First, you need to get some Paperclay or Resin Clay (I like Creative Paperclay or Crayola Air Dry Clay for this project), then you need one of these...
A skull ice cube tray I got at the Dollar Store...how very cool is this?? Put a dusting of baby powder in the skull cube tray, make a little ball of clay and press it in gently. Let dry and when you take it out, it looks like this (or if you're more patient than me and wait for it to dry completely, it will look even better!)...
You can make your ornament with just the skull or you can glue it to a little square backing of textured clay like I did...add it to cardboard, fabric, whatever you can glue it to that will hold the weight. Paint your skull with acrylic paints. Add a ribbon hanger, and you are done!
Hope you had fun today, I'm going to post again when mom will let me. Thanks so much for visiting and please be sure to stop by
