Ok so this instructable is really simple to make but it takes a lot of time and patience. To make this Mockingjay pin you will need the following:
-clay (that can be put in the oven)
-knife
-gold and black paint (I used nail polish)
-a pin
-scolpting tools
-an oven
-glue

Ok so to start you need to roll out the clay. After its rolled out cut out a big circle then with the same circle cut a smaller one inside of it.

Once its cut out putitin the oven for about 10 minutes (or the time your clay takes to cook). when its done let it cool then you can start to
make the body of the bird. when you do this make sure its not to thick because you want the pin to look like its the real thing.

Once the main body is cut out you can place it in the centre of the circle ring. then place it back in the oven. when its done and you take it out, carefully turn it over with out burning yourself.

Now that its cooled you want to fill in the back so its flat and there is no chance for the middle to sink in. when its covered and all cut to match the body put it back in the oven and let it cool once more.

Just made my first pin!! I made it smaller, and used gold wire. Its hard not to bake out the detail though. I put the detail back into it though with the paint process. Pretty cool! I think ill attach it to my nook cover...........
