How To Make An Owl Magnet With Polymer Clay

Hello Everyone!
Ellen here
Today I am going to show you how to make an Owl Magnet from polymer clay.



First choose your colours, then condition your clay until you can twist it without breaking it.
Roll it into a ball and put it on a flat surface. 
using a rolling pin flatten it out and cut a circle.



Then you get a smaller circle cutter and put it to the edge of the circle you just cut out and press and then you have his ears



To make his tummy, use a small circle cutter in a different colour and put it in the middle of his body.



To make his wings, roll out more clay and cut out a medium sized heart then cut it in half and place them on his body



Like this



Next get 2 small piece of white clay and roll into 2 balls then flatten them and place on his body for his eyes then add a smaller piece of black clay and use for his pupils. Now add an even smaller piece of white clay for the shine in his eyes.


Cut a small orange triangle for his beak and bake as told on your packet of clay. 
PLEASE ASK AN ADULT TO HELP YOU BAKE!
Once it's baked let it cool completely and decorate it how you want it with paints and then glaze it carefully
Glue a magnet to the back of your owl with E6000 glue
and let it set for a day.
Put it on your fridge to enjoy.


These make good presents for friends, family, neighbours and teachers.

I hope you enjoyed going step by step with me!!
See you next time!!!

Lego Ultra Agents 70165


Hello Everyone
I'm Emily and I'm going to tell you about
 Lego Ultra Agents 70165

  
I got this from Santa and it's awesome!!!!
It has over 1000 pieces and 5 minifigures
 when you start it's a little hard but It's really cool at the end.


The truck opens up into a secret base 
it has a car, areoplane, computer stations, prison, guns that really
shoot and a rotating satellite dish!
It also has an enemy robot.


This set took me 1 day to build altogether
It was a little hard but it was fun
I think I'd give this 10 stars
and recommend it for boys and girls


 Thanks for reading
see you next time
bye!
