Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 Bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Soft Fan with SC-98 Slime Time, apply three coats to the outside and inside of the hat. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  3. Using the Soft Fan with SG-704 Peppermint, apply one coat to the outside of the hat.
  4. Cut the eyelash yarn into 4-5” pieces.
  5. Using the Script Liner and Soft Fan with SC-73 Candy Apple Red, apply two coats to the jacket.
  6. While the second coat of Candy Apple Red is still wet, press the eyelash yarn into the glaze with your fingers, a sponge-on-a-stick, or the Soft Fan. Once the glaze is dry to the touch, apply one coat of SC-73 Candy Apple Red over the yarn using the Soft Fan. This will keep the yarn from pulling up.
  7. Using the Soft Fan, apply two coats of SC-87 Ruby Slippers over the jacket. Before the final coat is completely dry, lift the eyelash yarn off the piece.
  8. Using the Script Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, apply three coats to the beard.
  9. Squeeze around 1 TBS of SC-15 Tuxedo onto the palette. Thin with water. Using the Soft Fan, float over the beard.
  10. Using the Script Liner with SC-20 Cashew Later, apply three coats to the nose. Highlight with SC-2 Melon-Choly.
  11. Using the Script Liner with SC-98 Slime Time, apply three coats to the gloves.
  12. Using the Soft Fan with SC-73 Candy Apple Red, apply three coats to the inside of the bottom of the jar.
  13. Fire to cone 06.
