| This is a great way to show your witchy ways at Halloween. It also makes a great gift for the holiday! |

1. Form a 3/4” flesh colored
ball. Flatten the ball between
2 sheets of parchment paper.
2. Roll a 1 1/8” ball of orange
clay through a clay press or
a garlic press. Arrange it on and around the flattened
piece of clay. This forms the hair.
3. With your flat blade or a utility knife
carefully cut off the top part of
the head.
4. Combine a 7/8” ball of silver and a 1”
ball of black to make the dark silver
for the hat.
5. On the second largest setting on the pasta machine roll out two sheets of the silver clay. Cut out
two identical hats and sandwich them together. Or just roll out one, 3/8” hat.
6. To add detail to the hat you can use a needle tool or a wheel tracer.
Don’t forget to add some creases in the bent area.
7. Make a 3/8” ball of yellow and press it
into a flat circle. Using a medium sized
heart cutter make the shape of a crescent
moon. Place it on the peak of the hat.
You are now ready to join it with the head.
8. For the face, add eyes by pushing the small end of a stylus into the
clay. For the nose use a 3/16” ball of flesh and shape it to a blunt
point. After placing the nose onto the
face use chalk to accent the cheeks.
9. Bake at manufacturer’s specifications.
10. Wait for the piece to cool completely then cover the piece in brown
acrylic paint. Wipe off quickly with a wet wipe (baby wipes work
really well). This creates a nice antique finish.
11.After the paint dries fasten the pin back to the witch using a strong
permanent glue. When the glue dries you are ready to parade
about town!
