First, knead all the modelling clay until it is nice and soft and malleable. This step ensures that the clay can be modelled 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: mould a cone from the bulk of the clay, which will serve as the body and head of your angel. The lacy top of the cone forms the head. Use a separate piece of modelling clay for the arms. Use modelling tools to attach these arms to the sides of the cone, taking care to smooth out the transitions. Small cracks may appear as the modelling clay dries, which is completely natural.
After drying, you can work these into the cracks with the stored clay by simply working it into the cracks and smoothing it out. Once the angel is dry, take the angel wings. Attach them securely to the back using hot glue. Make sure to spread the glue evenly to fix the angel wings firmly in place.
Finally, use wire to form the halo for your angel. Bend the wire into a small circle and attach it firmly to the head with modelling clay. These final details will really bring your angel to life!
