How To Make A Clay Mask
Ever wanted to make a clay mask of someone’s face and give it to them as a surprise? I know a few people who have done this, and it can be either a) extremely difficult if you don’t know how or b) very, very easy if you do. Here, for those who don’t know how to do it, is a way to cheat. It’s much easier than actually doing a mask of someone’s face as you don’t need them to sit still for ages for you.
1) Buy some self-hardening clay from a hobby store. It might be more expensive than regular clay but it comes in smaller packets and dries on its own in around 3 full days.
2) Begin by rolling your clay into an egg-shaped ball.
3) Cut it not quite in half – length-ways – but so that one half is a fair bit bigger than the other.
4) Now set that down on a hard surface and begin by forming the nose. Use the extra clay from the back of the head for the noise and the eye-sockets and push into where the eyes will go. Only move onto the mouth and chin once you have the nose and eyes complete!
5) Now it’s mouth time: do this by using a spoon to open the mouth up, then use clay rolls to make the lips. Now it should be coming together.
6) Lastly, make sure that the chin looks right, and look at it in side profile. Does it look right? It had better, because now you’re going to leave it to dry.
7) Finally, leave to dry and then paint how you like. This doesn’t require spending loads of money on Lace Fabrics or posh paints, simply buy some acrylics and voila, there you go!
