Glow in the Dark Ghosts - 2 Ways by Carole Monahan
A 2 For BOO FOR YOU!
Lil people ghost safety necklace
Big people ghost looking for BOOOOOs
Both these fun GLOW in the DARK ghosts start the
same way.
Supplies
Makin's Clay® - Glow in the Dark clay 120g
Aluminum foil
Bottle to drape ghost on to dry
Battery powered tea light
Lite up necklace
12 Gauge Wire about 10 inches
PYM II to seal the clay
Makin's Clay® Ultimate Clay Machine™
Makin's Clay® Roller and cutter set
Wire cutter
Makin’s Clay® Cutter Mat
x-acto knife
Directions
Roll out a package of the Makin's Clay® glow in the dark clay with your Ultimate Clay
Machine™set at 3-4 for medium thickness.
I cut out the shapes by hand with the cutter sets you can trim them up
later as well.
I like the irregular shapes for the ghosts. 1st shape was large about 6inches across for the “adult ghost”. 2nd shape is much smaller about 3 inches across. The size that you cut will also be determined by the size of your tea
light and the size of your glow in the dark pendent.
Now to give your ghosts a place to hang out to dry.
Grab a bottle and make foil ball about the size of
the head you want.
Tape the ball onto the top of the bottle and then
cover in foil
I folded the foil in half to give it a little more
body.
Around the head shape and finish the bottom to
flair out.
After the clay is dry you can cut the eyes and
mouth out while it is still on the foil form.
Carefully remove from the bottle form.
For the LIL Ghost all these steps can be done
directly onto the necklace
Boo-tiful
To make the sign holder 1st mark a little hole and with a
straight pin put a hole where his ghostly shoulder should be. Then take one end of the wire and wrap it in a flat
spiral.
Push the straight end through your hole in your
ghost and then wrap the rest of the wire around your battery powered tea light.
You may have to tape it to secure the wire.
Your ghost also makes a great BOO-ffet guide.
Here are some additional signs he can hold!

Poison 100% organic
Ogre Boogers ( this one is great next to Salsa

Fair Trade Bat Wings

Spiral Clay Earrings by Andrijana Katavic
SPIRAL EARRINGS
Designed by
Andrijana Katavić
Hello everyone!
I really love to
make various things with Makin’s Clay®, because it has a tremendously broad range of
applications. Also, it is very flexible and can be bent,
molded and shaped easily, which made making of these
Spiral earrings very simple and
easy. Check the instructions to see what I mean.
MAKIN’S® MATERIALS LIST
Makin’s Clay® White 60g
Makin’s Professional® Ultimate Clay Extruder™ (disc 12)
Makin’s Clay® Mixing Ruler™
Makin’s® Roller & Cutters Tool Set
Makin’s® Roller & Cutters Tool Set
Makin’s Professional®
Cutting Mat
OTHER
NECESSITIES
Sharp scissors
Dark purple metallic acrylic paint
X-Acto knife
Pliers
4 jump rings (2 for each earring)
2
french hook earwires
Medium bag with a sealable closure
Piercer or a piece of wire
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP
1.
Place Makin’s Professional® Cutting Mat on your working table. Unpack White Makin's Clay® and using the Mixing Ruler measure 2 piece of
clay in G hole.
STEP 2.
Add a small amount of
purple metallic acrylic paint
(about the size of grains of peas) on one piece of clay, and place it in a plastic bag with
a sealable closure. Knead well. When clay and color are well mixed, remove from
bag and made a log. Repeat whole process for other piece.
NOTE:
During drying, the color will
fade a bit, so if you want Spiral
earrings in more intense color add more acrylic paint. I wanted my earrings to
be the color as close to the shade of lavender, so I added small amount of paint.
STEP 3.
Unscrew the handle
of Ultimate Clay Extruder™ to make
enough space inside tube for the clay log. Unscrew end cap, and insert disc 12 in it. Place
one log in the Extruder, and screw back end cap with disc.
STEP 4.
Extrude clay by twisting handle of the
Extruder. Clean Extruder (click HERE to learn how to do this) and repeat whole process for other log.
NOTE:
It is important that one edge on both
extruded stripes is rounded, so it is necessary to process each piece
of clay separately.
STEP 5.
Place the
stripe of clay on the Cutting Mat
to measure it. Put part of
clay stipe that came out first
from Extruder (that one with rounded edge) on the zero (0), and
then cut it with sharp scissors to a length of 10 centimeters. Measure and cut other stripe as well.
STEP 6.
Wrap one stripe
of clay around the handle of the
X-Acto knife. Carefully remove
clay from the handle. Wrap the
other stripe, but in the opposite
direction. Remove carefully.
NOTE: It is important to wrap stripes in the opposite direction, so that earrings
later can stand properly.
With spiky (pointy) modeling tool which is included in
Mixing Ruler set poke holes on the part
of clay stripe that you've cut with scissors. Pass the piercer or a
piece of wire through the holes, hang somewhere (in a glass for example), and leave clay to dry for
about 12 hours.
STEP 8.
Use pliers to hang
jump rings and hooks on dry clay, and your finished.
earrings
are
