Gingerbread Man Tutorial
Today’s mini tutorial is a one picture easy to do tutorial.
- Condition your clay.
- Roll 4 medium teardrops of brown clay.
- Roll 1 large teardrop of brown clay.
- Roll 1 large ball of brown clay.
- Attach each piece together to make the figurine look like it’s sitting.
- Blend the seams.
- Roll 4 white snakes of clay.
- Wrap each snake around a limb.
- Insert eyes into head.
- Use dotting tools to make the mouth.
- Use blending chalks on a small paint brush to accent the cheeks.
- BAKING INSTRUCTIONS: FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON YOUR PACKAGE. This being said, I bake ALL my pieces (mostly Premo! clay) at 265 for an hour each. Sometimes they bake for an hour, twice!
