Craft Idea - Sculpey Eraser Clay Baby BatMaterials Needed:
-
Sculpey Eraser Clay:
Pink, Blue, Purple, Orange, Yellow

Some household tools you might want to use for this project: toothpick or large needle, paring knife, cookie cutters, old rolling pin or heavy glass jar

INSTRUCTIONS:

All Amazing Eraser Clay should be conditioned before use. Just knead the clay in your hands until soft and of even consistency. Once your project is complete, bake in your home oven at 250 for 10 minutes. Over baking will cause the erasers to not erase very well. Make sure your oven is the right temperature by checking it with an oven thermometer. Allow the erasers to cool completely before handling them.

If you want to turn your eraser into a pencil topper the eraser needs to be made thick enough to cover the end of a pencil. Before baking, you can gently push the eraser onto a pencil to make a hole in it. Then gently slide the eraser off and bake.

1. Shape purple eraser clay into a flat slab. Make the top edge circular by trimming it with a round cookie cutter. Scallop the bottom edge by tracing along the edge of a dime several times.

Stick little patches of orange clay onto the wings. Prick the edges of the patches to make them look sewn on.

2. From blue eraser clay, shape a small ball for the head, a large teardrop for the body, 2 small teardrops for the feet, 2 small worms for the arms, and 2 tiny teardrops for the ears. Press these into place on top of the purple wings.

3. You'll need 2 teeny tiny yellow balls for the eyes and a pink one for the nose. Push these into place. Poke a hole in each eye. Score a line in for his mouth and prick 2 fangs on the bottom edge of the mouth. Score lines in each foot for the toes. Add 3 teeny tiny balls onto the end of each arm for fingers. Poke in a belly button.
