Description

Instructions

  1. Small p1150467

    Take a small ball of clay. Make them slightly cylindrical.

  2. Small p1150468

    Take another slightly smaller ball of clay. This will become the head.

  3. Small p1150469

    Pinch the second ball of clay to form ears, and use a balling tool to make small dents where the eyes will go. Add a straight beading pin through the body and head. The bottom of the pin will be covered by the tail.

  4. Small p1150476

    Add a tail and arms.

  5. Small p1150478

    Paint the head and body using acrylic paint.

  6. Small p1150479

    Paint the tail using acrylic paint. I used an old click-pen tip dipped in paint to create circles for scales.

  7. Small p1150480

    Turn the pin in the head so that the cat can be attached to a necklace.

  8. Small p1150481

    Add a jump ring to the pin loop and attach your cat to a chain.
