Instructions

  1. Small 104538 2f2014 09 27 044557 dsc01147

    Pick a figurine that has some sort of texture.

  2. Small 104538 2f2014 09 27 044614 dsc01148

    roll a ball of any colored clay and flatten it, so that it is as big as the figurine's face.

  3. Small 104538 2f2014 09 27 044638 dsc01149

    Press the figurines face into the clay, but no more than half way. Then bake mold according to direction on fimo packet.

  4. Small 104538 2f2014 09 27 044700 dsc01150

    When mold has cooled off, apply a thin layer of flour.

  5. Small 104538 2f2014 09 27 044726 dsc01151

    Take the color you want the face to be, and flatten it out in the mold.

  6. Small 104538 2f2014 09 27 044747 dsc01153

    Carefully take the clay out of the mold without warping any of the features.

  7. Small 104538 2f2014 09 27 044819 dsc01154

    Use the tip of a pin to cut away any excess clay/

  8. Small 104538 2f2014 09 27 044855 dsc01155

    Roll a ball of a different color of clay, and flatten it out. Then score it by using the tip of a pin to scratch the middle, and the back of the face. This causes a Velcro effect.

  9. Small 104538 2f2014 09 27 044917 dsc01156

    Gently connect the 2, and use the side of the pin to press the edges of the face into the base, but don't indent base. It is ok if it looks messy the base just needs to be flat.

  10. Small 104538 2f2014 09 27 044955 dsc01159

    Mix a tiny bit of one part paint/ one part water. Brush it onto the face.

  11. Small 104538 2f2014 09 27 045034 dsc01160

    Before paint dries gently dab the face with the tissue to absorb some of the paint. this will make the characteristics more distinct.

  12. Small 104538 2f2014 09 27 045114 dsc01162

    carefully paint around the edge of the face to cover up any out of bound clay.
