Here's a smiley, slinky critter you can make from clay and wire.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Polymer clay in purple, white, and black
22-gauge, permanent-colored copper wire Toothpicks | |
| Seasons: Year round | |
| Materials: clay | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Roll 6 or more balls of clay for the caterpillar body and
head. String them onto a piece of wire that's long enough to hold
them all in place, then bend the body into the shape you
want. |
| 2. | Insert the antennae wires into the head and add the
antennae balls to the other ends of the wires. |
| 3. | For eyes, press the small purple balls into the head. Press the white balls onto the purple ones, then add the tiny black balls onto the white circles for pupils. |
| 4. | Use a toothpick to shape the mouth. |
