Description

There are a few variations of this on CO+K of these little skulls but here is an easier version!

Instructions

  1. Small img 2192 1247690536

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

  2. Small img 2195 1247690635

    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. Small img 2196 1247690750

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

  4. Small img 2197 1247690856

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

  5. Small img 2200 1247690977

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

  6. Small img 2201 1247691054

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

  7. Small img 2193 1247691135

    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

    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!
