Instructions:
|
 Step
1:
Condition clay and mix together ½ block Raw Sienna, ¼ block
Gold, and ¼ block Ecru. Mix in about 1/2 teas. or more of cinnamon.
|
Step
2: Put through pasta machine on thickest setting OR use
clay roller.
|
Step
3: Use cookie cutters to cut out figures. You can
get really creative here by cutting out one figure for each of
your
family members or your
friends’ family. Makes a great gift.
|
Step
4:Rub a little Bronze (or other dark color) Pearlex just
around the outside of the figures. Brown chalk or eye shadow
will work just as well. The
shading gives them a nice ‘baked’ look. 
|
Step
5: Force white clay through clay gun in a single strand.
Use this as fake icing to decorate your gingerbread figures as
shown, or use your own
design.
If your little guy likes baseball….give the little one a
baseball cap. Personalize each one as you like.
|
Step
6:
Place figures on baking sheet and bake at 275 Degrees F for approx.
25 minutes.
|
Step 8:Cool and glue each figure on to craft stick. |
Step
9: Add ribbon and hang on tree. |
