Paper clay beaks tutorial...


It won't be quiet for long!
Little wool chicks are patient... but they have a lot to say!


Paper clay is easy, clean & light~
Once dry, it can be sanded & painted.


I have used Scotch Quick-dry Adhesive (acid free) for years.
It has a small tip. Doesn't make craft papers soggy... quick tack.
Little bit goes a long way & it holds great!


Made a little tinfoil tray for my beaks.
Muffins came out of the oven... I turned it off & put my beaks on the oven rack.
Closed the oven door.
By the time the oven cooled down my beaks were dry!

I only needed 6 beaks.
Fifteen minute job...
Once I started playing with the clay~ I couldn't stop!
So easily distracted!
Bunny heads are air-drying. 
They are tinfoil balls covered with paper clay.

Hope your day has been wonderful~

You Know What This Means...


There are noses left...


More SNOWMEN!


These are made from paper clay.
I started the sweet heads with a ball of tinfoil
then generously covered them with the clay.
Much less cracking and very light weight~




Love their little cheeks!

Now I just need to decide what type of body to make
for them... wool... cloth... paper mache?
Antique them or keep them snow white?
Glitter?

Maybe a couple of each!
I'll be sure to share finished photos...

Hope your weekend is wonderful!
