Step 1: Form a thin base layer of AMACO Air Dry Cloud Clay around the eye and across the nose parts of the mask.
Step 2: Choose a different color and form embellishments on the mask base. Continue sculpting with different colors until the mask is covered and you are happy with the design.
Step 3: Poke holes on both sides of the mask. Paint Cloud Clay with glitter glaze. Allow mask to dry over night. Tie yarn or cord through holes (to allow the mask to be worn).
Step 4: Choose several different colors of straw beads, wrap each with a layer of Cloud Clay.
Step 5: Add decorations and create patterns with different colors of Cloud Clay. Allow beads to dry overnight.
Step 6: String beads together with yarn or cord to finish.
