Halloween Clothespin Clips

Halloween Clips by Erin Reed

I wanted to make some cute clay clips for Halloween to place on various projects such as cards, tags, scrapbook pages, treat bags, banners, really the uses are endless for these fun little clips.

Materials:

Makin's Clay® - 

• Black, White Clay, Neon Orange
• Clay tools
• Halloween Cutter Set

Makin's Professional® 

• Cutting Mat
• Professional Clay Tools 

Mini wooden clothespins 
Tattered Angels paints & mists 
Beacon™ Mixed-Media Glue

Procedure:

1) Roll out white, neon orange, and black clay and cut out cats, bats, pumpkins, and ghosts, a few of each for fun with the Halloween cutters.

2) Use the professional stylus tool to add in ridges to the pumpkin, shapes to the for eyes, wings, and mouth, for the cat face and ears, and the ghost eyes and mouth.

3) Roll our little balls or lines in white or black for the faces of the animals and ghosts for eyes and whiskers.  Use Beacon Mixed Media glue to hold the little parts in place.

 

4) Let dry over night to harden and set.

5) Use Tattered Angels paints and mists to add color to the pumpkin and pupils to the eyes.

6) Cut out shapes of the faces in black paper for the jack-o-lanters and glue.

7) Glue each little shape with Beacon Mixed Media Glue to a black Canvas Corp clothespin to make your clip.
