 Fall Sparkly Snail Leaf Decor

         Hi everyone! In the spirit of fall, today I will be showing you how to make this adorable little snail sitting on a leaf. I don't have much time, so let's jump right in. 
You will need:

• Orange or yellow clay
• Translucent clay
• Metallic clay in a shade of your choice
• Yellow or orange sparkles
• TLS (translucent liquid sculpey)
• A ball tool
• Black acrylic paint (not shown)

First, take your orange or yellow clay and shape it into a teardrop shape. Make sure that it it is thinner at the tip of the teardrop.

 

Then, take your ball tool, and using the metal part of it, press into the leaf to make a line that starts out thicker at the base and is thinner up at the top.

Your leaf should look like this.

Now, take your metallic and translucent clays and roll them into snakes like so.

Roll your metallic snake into a swirl-like shape.

 

 

Apply a little TLS to the shell and press it onto the snail's body.

 

Use your finger to rub TLS all over the leaf-shape you made earlier. This will help the glitter stick when we apply it.

 

After that, sprinkle glitter all over your leaf until it is fully covered.

 

 

 

Take your TLS and make a line down the bottom of your snail. After that, press it onto the leaf. Optional: Take your acrylic paint and dotting tool and make two dots on the face for eyes.

 

Bake, and you're done!

You can make these for any season, but I find them extremely convenient for fall.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
Bye!
