Tools:

Makin's Professional®

Instructions:

You can take a store bought tiny skull and mold it with one part RE-USABLE, yup I said

RE-USEABLE, Impressive Putty! Just follow the VERY easy instructions on the putty.

My little trick is to use a cookie cutter when making the mold. As you can see, I removed the molded item after the putty cured and I sliced it to make it even easier to remove it and then press your clay BACK into the cookie cutter as you mold your new item and let it cure and remove it from the cookie cutter exposing the slice to remove with ease.

I see a video coming of this part!

Make your mold

The molded clay shows great details. This is where you can add your glow in the dark clay. I only did the eyes BUT the entire skull would be AWESOME! I highlighted the details with

watered down acrylic paints. Apply the paint and wipe off excess quickly with a paper towel.

The cross bones are easy to sculpt just a ball on the end and indent them with the Sculpt tool. Age the cross bones with paint to match the skull.

Add shading to your skull & make your bones

Now for your aged label - I combined mostly white some brown and little bit of yellow clay to get this old parchment color. I rolled it out on the Ultimate Clay Machine™, starting at setting #1, then #2, and ending on #3. I then tore the edges to get that rough look.

Make sure at this point your label and skull are the right size for your bottle of choice! Use

alphabet stamps to stamp out the words of your choice while the clay is still fresh.

Let the clay cure a little a couple of hours before you age it.
