You Will Need (4 things)

  • Coloured Ink or silk paint
  • Swarovski Crystals or 3D glitter glue for decoration
  • PVA Glue
  • Model magic Clay self drying lightweight modelling material

Steps (6 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Take a lump of model magic and roll into a ball. Roll at one end to turn into an oval.

  2. 2

    Pinch in the sides of the head and mouth.Use the end of a paint brush or a pencil to create eye sockets and nose.

  3. 3

    Leave to dry.

  4. 4

    Cover in PVA glue and cover in a fine glitter of your choice. I used white to make it look like sugar. A little colour can be added with a touch of ink or fabric paint. Be careful as it will spread through the glitter.

  5. 5

    Decorate with crystals or 3D glitter glue.

  6. 6

    I use these to decorate hats but they could be used as wedding favors, tree decorations or just fun little ornaments. Enjoy!
