FREE Video | How to Create Polymer Clay Halloween Mummy Face Millefiori Cane

Free polymer clay video!
Mummy face millefiori cane

Purim (a similar jewish version for Halloween) was the holiday I loved the most as a child. I remember I used to wait for the day my mother asks me "who do you want to be" this year?
I was a ballerina, little red riding hood, a hippie, a rabbit, a traditional Japanese dressed lady, and even a kitty (it's me age 4 in the photo!).
All these special costumes were handmade by my mother and I can not thank her enough for being so cooperative with our childhood desires.

Purim is due in 6 months but Halloween is only 60 days away!
Have you planned your polymer clay projects? gifts? treats?

Me as a kitty!

  5. My favorite was the year our whole family dressed as garbage bags. What fun we had taping, stapling, and gluing the 'clean' trash to the bags, our hair, and arms. And what a sight we must have been (there were 6 of us kids!) as we walk the neighborhood knocking on doors. Shame no one had a camera. :)

  9. My favourite costume as a child was a mouse costume that my mother made. It was like a grey bodystocking that I could put my clothes and coat on underneath to keep warm. It had a long tail that I could curl up over my arm and carry. The mask was the simple eye mask with pipe cleaners for whiskers. There were even booties and mittens that matched to complete the outfit. To carry my goodies, I had a bag that looked like a wedge of cheese. My greatest regret was the year I grew too tall for it.

  10. I love the tutorial Iris! I remember my favourite costume was one that I sewed myself as a young teenager. I sewed a silver satin jumpsuit, covered a motorcycle helmet with tin foil, shaped a ray gun out of tin foil and went to a party as a space traveller. Had polymer clay been around back then, I could have had a way, cooler ray gun!

  11. Great tutorial! My favorite costume was from my teenage years - Wonder Woman. My boyfriend & I spent hours making my costume and his Spiderman costume. It was the most detailed costume I have ever made!

  12. I am a fan of Halloween. Durig my summer vacations when I was young I allways made my Halloween costume in paper. Even though it got wet I just loved it. Now I prepare things to give away to children I visit to read stories to in schools.So Halloween is still the best feast of the year for me. Great tutorial as allways.
