Halloween Bouncies!!
Happy Halloween!
In this instructable I am going to share a cheap and simple craft activity that can be used with a whole range of shapes (not just halloween). The most difficult thing is giving the clay time to dry before bouncing it off a wall : )
Lets begin
Supplies
What you'll need
A themed silicone tray (I actually picked this one up reduced after halloween)
Some bouncing Clay: A big tub can be bought for £3 at Home Bargains (UK)
Some flour: Talcum powder or cornflower would also work.
Additional but not necessary
Paint or paint pens to decorate
Dust!
Lightly dust your mould with the flour and pour out any excess
Press!
Press the bouncy clay into the moulds trying to remove any air pockets
You can even mix up the clay for some nice tie dye effects.
Now leave it to dry for at least an hour.
Remove
After the top has dried carefully remove the clay. Try on to press them out but reather pry them out as the clay below the "crust" will stll be a bit plyable/wet.
Once out leave to dry for a bit more. You will see the shine fades a bit once dry.
Decortate
If you want use paint or paint pens to decorate your bouncies.
NOTE: I cant garuntee how long the paint will last after its been bounced about a bit.
BOUNCE!
All thats left to do now as bounce them!
As I said you can do this with any silicone mould so you can apply this Instructable to any theme (I have a brain jelly mould that I'm thinking about trying)
I hope you enjoyed this instructable and as always your thoughts, comments, critisims and even photos of your own bouncies are welcome
