Kitty Napkin Ring

Frankly speaking, cold porcelain clay or oven-baked polymer clay is good as it will dry hard.  

But, I like soft clay like Crayola Model Magic or Cloud clay because it's bouncy and still a little bit soft after it's dry. 

Step 1:

Knead the clay and then make a ball shape. Then change it to rectangular by pressing the four side of the ball.

Step 2:

Press the two end of rectangular with your clay tool.

Step 3:

Cut the center of the press area with scissor or clay cutter.

Step 4:

This would be the kitty's 4 legs.

Step 5:

Shape and position  the legs to your liking.

Step 6:

Make the tail from elongated tear drop shape and bend it a little bit.

Step 7:

Attach the tail to the back of the body.

Step 8:

Roll a ball clay shape for head. Press the eyes area lightly with your thumb.

Step 9:

Make a small hole for the mouth and then insert small flatten ball clay in red color for the tongue. 

Step 10:

Continue with the ears and nose. Use pink clay for the inside of the ears. You can see the detail to make the kitty's ear at cat on the pillow pencil topper.

Step 11:

Attach the head to the body. Add the yellow stripes or other colors and draw the eyes with black marker when the clay dry.

Step 12:

Use red clay for the ring. Make a long and flat clay about 3-4 inch. Embossed the clay to make it nicer with the embosser. 

As we plan to use it for Christmas, I added small green ball shape on the ring. That's it. We have cute napkin ring with kitten clay on it.
