Making the snowman
Condition your white clay: using your hands, roll out approx 1” oval shape to make your snowman head. Create a mini hat for your snowman with a 3/8 circle cutter for the base and a small square for the top. Insert a thin small wire for extra support into the snowman head. Take a toothpick and poke two eyes before you cut the end off with scissors and insert it in for the carrot nose.
Baking the ornaments
Once you have you a completed your snowman you’re ready to bake him. Place your snowman on a smooth ceramic tile and bake in your oven according to the manufacturers instructions on the clay packaging. If you don't want to use baking clay, you can also try air-dry clay, which could work too. Let cool.
Painting your ornament
Once your ornament has cooled off, use your acrylic paints to paint your snowman according to the photo,or in whatever colors you like. Use the left-over part of your toothpick to paint in the eyes. Let dry.
