Glow in the Dark Ghosts - 2 Ways by Carole Monahan

A 2 For BOO FOR YOU!

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

Tools
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.

Now just drape the clay over the top of the bottle and form it
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!
