Schildpadden van Silk Clay en Pearl Clay

1 Cut the large polystyrene balls in half for the turtles body. We have used a craft knife, but you need to use a small jig saw for cutting the large polystyrene balls in half. Do ask an adult to cut the polystyrene balls in half for you.

2 Roll out Silk Clay flat and cover the bottom of the halved polystyrene ball. Use scissors for trimming the Silk Clay as close to the edge as possible.

3 Cover one of the small, complete balls with Silk Clay for the head.

4 Mix Pearl Clay beads with the supplied modelling gel. Experiment with the colours by mixing several different colours of beads.

5 Mix the Pearl Clay modelling gel with the Pearl Clay beads.

6 Cover the curved part of the ball with Pearl Clay.

7 Roll out the Silk Clay flat and cut two circles measuring approx. 4 cm in diameter for the large turtle and 3 cm in diameter for the small turtle. Cut the circles in half.

8 Attach the semi circles underneath the bottom as shown in this photo.

9 Attach the head onto the turtle and push an eye onto each side of the head.
