How to make a clay creature!

-

 Hi everybody! This is the Christian Crafter, giving you the scoop on Clay Creatures! 

I use regular brown clay, but feel free to play with colors! 

Why do I use brown clay? Well, for starters, colored clay can blend and mush together, making the finished result a little muddy. And, if you bake your brown clay, you can paint it into a myriad of colors! So, let’s get started. You can watch my fun tutorial below, or keep scrolling to the written instructions! Have fun and be creative! 

Materials:

Any kind of clay! 

Paper towels (optional) to keep your table clean




Instructions:

Divide a small lump of clay into three pieces.

Roll two pieces into balls. Attach the head to the body.

Roll the third lump into two skinny rods and two balls. Attach to form arms.

Attach the two balls onto the head to make eyes. 

Use your fingernail to press detail in the eyes and for a mouth. 




Have a crafty day!

 Hey guys, sorry I haven’t been posting in a while. Things have gotten crazy. But I am back to blogging and being my creative self! So I started a makeup challenge. I love doing my makeup in the morning before school. I went to a website where you can make a  wheel  and add makeup looks to it and spin it around to let it pick a look at random. So I will be doing these looks and posting tutorials on here as well as posting some other content. It sure feels good to be back, and I hope you’ll follow along on my journey with me also.  The wheel selected colorful makeup, which should be fun! Watch the tutorial below to see how to do your own colorful makeup ❤️🩷✨ It’s actually not really a tutorial and more a crazy video of me running around trying to put on makeup at 1 AM. I will be showing some finished photos below. To keep anonymous I’ve just done some close ups of different aspects of the makeup look. I can’t wait to see what the wheel chooses next. This was quite th...

Best Biscotti Recipe

-
 I love making biscotti. We always eat them up within three days! Here is the base, simple recipe. But you can add anything you’d like, and experiment. My experiments have included toasted coconut, homemade brown sugar streusel topping, dried cherry with candied orange bits,  and chocolate pistachio. Have fun!  Preheat the oven to 300.  Toast up your nuts of choice while the oven is preheating. Mix your nuts with 2 cups of white flour, a cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, a teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, half a stick of cold cubed butter, 3 eggs, and a tablespoon of veggie oil. Add any other mix ins. Shape your biscotti like a mound. Bake for 25 minutes, then let cool. Slice your loaf into the biscotti, and bake for nine minutes. Flip your biscotti over and bake for nine more minutes before letting it cool for at least 15 min.  The biscotti might look a touch soft when they come out, but will harden almost instantly while being allowed t...
