How do I make a clay unicorn?

Question

How do I make a tail?

Community Answer

For a bird tail, make a small, thick cone-shaped triangle, and round the tip. For the ruffles, flatten some clay and stick it to the tail. Repeat as necessary.

Question

Does painting the bird ruin the clay? And are there any other things you can use apart from paint?

Community Answer

Try acrylic paint, as it usually works well on clay. If that doesn't work, you might try paint markers. As explained in the instructions, consider using different colors.

Question

Can I use air-dry clay?

Cannen Walters

Community Answer

Most clay works fine if it's meant for pottery or sculpting. The only thing with air dry clay is that it will take longer to harden.
