Getting Started

Do not use unbaked clay on unprotected furniture or finished surfaces.  Start with clean hands and work surface area. Good work surfaces include wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Knead clay until soft and smooth. For best results, clean your hands in between colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces together firmly.  Bake on a metal surface at 275 °F (130 °C) for 15 minutes per 1/4" (6 mm).  For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME. Wash hands after use.  Baking should be completed by an adult.

Step 2: Step 2 - Creating the Mummy

With your hands roll out 4 long teardrop shapes, 1 ¼” long, taped on one end and 3/8” in diameter at the wide end. Create the head which is approximately 1 ½” across and ¾” high and 5/8” wide. Create the body, a large teardrop that is about 1 ½” long. Set all the pieces aside.

Step 8: Step 8 - Creating the Mummy

Form 2 small balls and insert into the eye sockets. Using Pink clay add a small, oval nose between the eyes. Using small flattened balls of Orange and Black clay add an iris and pupil on the eyes.  Now set the Mummy head aside.

Step 13: Step 13 - Creating the Mummy

Add the Mummy arms and legs to the body - gently smooth them onto the body. Add small details, like a little Pink belly button on the stomach. The belly button is a tiny ball of clay pushed on the tummy with the needle tool.

Bake as directed above. Once cool, add Sculpey Glaze anywhere you would like (2 coats), also using White Tempera paint and a small paint-brush, add a white dot on the eyes - this gives it life. Now you're done with the Mummy!

Start with a thin Orange half moon. Add a mouth by making a small round ball placing it on the head and pressing on with the smallest Style and Detail tool. Don't forget the mouth too, just a round piece of Orange clay pressed onto the face, then a small hole pushed into the center.
