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 7:Cool and glue each figure on to craft stick.

Step 8: Add ribbon and hang on tree.
