With these step-by-step instructions, you can create a beautiful angel from modelling clay . This angel is perfect as a personal decoration for your home or as a lovingly handmade gift for friends and family. Working with modelling clay is not only only relaxing, but also a fantastic way to improve your artistic skills!
First, knead the entire modelling clay, until it is nice and soft and malleable. This step ensures that the mass can be modeled easily and that the angel has an even texture.
Keep a little back to repair any cracks that may appear later!
Now comes the creative part: use the bulk of the clay to form a cone that will serve as the body and head of your angel. The pointed top of the cone forms the head. For the arms, take a separate piece modelling clay. Using modeling tools, attach these arms to the sides of the cone, taking care to smooth out the transitions.
Small cracks may appear while the clay is drying, which is completely natural. After drying, you can work these with the stored clay by simply working it into the cracks and smoothing it out.
Once the angel has dried, take the wings. Attach them securely to the back using hot glue. Make sure to spread the glue evenly to fix the wings firmly in place.
Finally, use wire to form the halo for your angel. Bend the wire into a small circle and attach it securely to the head using modelling clay . These final details will really bring your angel to life!
