You Will Need (4 things)

  • Air-dry Clay or similar
  • Clay Tools
  • Black and Silver Acrylic Paint
  • Some sort of varnish or Gloss (optional)

Steps (8 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    For these skulls I used "JOVI" air-dry clay, however polymer clay could be used.

  2. 2

    Start of by rolling a ball of clay between your palms so that their are no cracks in the clay. The clay tool that will be used is shown here.

  3. 3

    Using your thumb and index finger, pinch the clay to form a 'chin'.

  4. 4

    Create an indentation for the eyes using the back of the paddle end of the clay tool.

  5. 5

    Create two nose slits and teeth slits by using the sharp end of the clay tool.

  6. 6

    Using the sharp end of the tool, press and scrape the clay to make deep eye sockets.

  7. 7

    Using a little bit of water, smooth out any cracks and leave to dry for the recommended time suggested by the clay manufacturer. Here are three I have completed

  8. 8

    Paint 'em up! Use black acrylic paint to paint the eye sockets and teeth and allow to dry before painting the rest of the skull silver. Once dry, coat with a layer of varnish/gloss.
    Now your skulls are ready to use!
