Hi I'm Charisse with WhimsyPaperMache.com in this video we're gonna to make the cutest
angels using clay dough if you haven't used that recipe it is on the
channel
run over check it out get a batch made and we will begin
alright guys we have our dough clay made
just throw it on your work counter and use flour to keep your dough from sticking
to your counter while you roll it out with a rolling pin now roll it out to about
a 1/4 inch-thick you can use rulers on the side
as a gauge
um now we're gonna to get it all flatten out and I use a cup
to make circles which I then take my cup and I
cut in half to make moon shapes for wings, if you have a moon shaped
cookie cutter
awesome you can save yourself a lot of time otherwise you can do my little
method here
and make some wings now what you get all these made
lay it onto your cookie sheets, so easy
now once their all on your cookie sheet
you will take and knife to make little indentions on the side
to help create your wings, this kinda gives it
a whimsical realistic look but not, lol.
You want to do this to all your wings because
as you work they will start to air dry
so you want to go ahead make all your indention's at once.
now to make your body you just gonna make triangles
so you're gonna to lay out your dough again and roll it out
and I try to make a decorative edge on the bottom of my triangles.
As you can see here I do not have a decorative roller,
just for that if you do, that's great.
As you can see here you
I'm gonna to take a knife and cut triangles
you can use a heart cookie cutter, use the bottom half of it and it will make a
perfect triangle
body for your angel.
You can make them as
small or large as you want. Once you get all your triangles cut-out you will
then go back over to your cookie sheet.
You already have your wings made and you will lay your triangle bodies
onto your wings.
Dip your finger into some water and apply where your body will lay.
The water works as glue.
I did lightly patted down just a little bit not really
even much.
Also before I make the head create
holes for hanging with a straw wherever you want.
Later you will put a ribbon through the hole
for hanging on your tree
or lay them on top of your gift packages.
Now to make the
head just in a pinch a ball of clay and I'm gonna roll it up to make sure
all air is out of it, you don't want any air in any of your clay
pieces because they want to expand
and you wont like how that turns out.
Make the head in an egg-shaped
and then you're going to place it on top
of your wings were the body meets.
Wetting your finger with water to use as glue.
Once we get the head on all your pieces
then what I do is take a tooth pick
and make a little hole for the mouth.
It's like our little angels are singing. My daughter saw these, she was like
what is that Mom? It may not look like it now but once we get these
painted you will be able to tell that they are
just excited and singing
so once we get the bodies, wings and head
all assembled together we will put some hair on her. You can use a strainer
to make some hair
or like you see here I have a tool to
squeeze out noodle shaped hair. I will wet the head and
place it on you can make
long hair, short hair, can make a bun
You can even leave the hair off. Which I decided not to do that
I like it with her hair on her. It's just a process wetting and
applying the hair where you want. They are really whimsical.
I have made little heart to put in her hair, you can make stars if you
have little bitty cookie cutters
but you can find some at Hobby Lobby or Walmart.
Press out dough for little hearts in her hair
Also decorate her dress with hearts, stars, and whatever you like.
You assemble everything together for your sweet little angels
as you can see my angels lined up here and
Remember to decorate their dresses. The details really add, I love the hearts and
especially in the hair, and little roses you can make
but it really adds now I'd like to mention that I did get this
a design from our a little artist I found online on I Googled
just to get some creative juices flowing and I
found her online. Her website link is in the article, just a beautiful lovely young
artist and you will enjoy looking at all her fabulous
workshops she has on her site and
so I just wanted give her all the praise for this
so we have got our angels ready to bake
You can bake them or you can air dry them. To bake turn the oven on
200 degrees for about 6 hours.
If yours are not completely dry leave bake them longer because they
have to be completely dry
before you begin to paint them and this is the end of this workshop showing
you how to get to this stage
and dry them. You will have to run over to
the "How 2 Paint workshop" which for the Dough Angels.
