Step One: Condition
Glow in the Dark (GITD) clay and roll out in pasta machine to about #4
thickness. Tear edges into a rough circle. |
 |
Step Two: Lay over stand as evenly
as possible. |
 |
Step Three: Drape clay over
stand. At this point, we have a GITD tablecloth. |
 |
Step Four: Pinch and pleat
to resemble ghostly grace. |
 |
Step Five: Refine pleats,
pinching up "sleeves" if desired. Bake, tenting with foil to avoid scorching. |
 |
Step Six: When clay is cool, you
may choose to paint on a scary face, or as in our little guy, a friendly
face. Use a tiny amount of acrylic paint on a very small paintbrush. |

| Tip: If you the clay
becomes too brown, the ghost is NOT ruined! It actually helps to show the
folds in the dark. |
