Instructions

1. Start by shaping the air-dry clay into a seated figure with crossed legs. Focus on the body posture and facial features. 2. Once the figure is shaped, allow it to dry completely according to the clay manufacturer's instructions. 3. After drying, use acrylic paint to add color to the figure. Paint the hair red, the skin tone for the face and legs, and dress the figure in colorful clothing. 4. Once the paint is dry, use a clear sealant to protect the paint finish. 5. For added decoration, glue small flowers or beads onto the figure or around the base. 6. Finally, place the finished figure on a wooden base or your chosen tabletop to display your charming creation.
