MockingJay Tutorial by DelusionsOfHolbert

So I made one of these ages ago for my cousin as a thank you for lending me the hunger games books. [link] who has a Hunger games craft group asked me to make a tutorial for it. Its taken me a while but here it is!
It's my first tutorial so comments are welcome (but please be nice

)

Obviously I do not own the books or even the picture I based the charm on.

I'd love to show it but my cat violently murdered it so it's absolutely broken

I guess I didn't make it strong enough...

my heart just burst out of joy.

This is pretty great!

I'm going to see what materials my art class at school already has and buy whatever else I'll need (probably the Premo/sculpey). This has truly inspired me. If it turns out as great as yours, I'm going to move onto making a horsecall/Ilia's charm from Legend of Zelda and some Harry Potter charms. I know my friends will love these!

Perfect! I'll start now, so in march 23th it'll be ready <3
By the way as recommendation I propose to add transparent glue when the pin is done. It'll make it more resistant and the pin will glow

will the wire melt or mess the clay up when you bake it?

DelusionsOfHolbert Featured By Owner Mar 14, 2012

I imagine it will depend on the type of wire you use but I have never had any problems with the jewlery wire that I use. I use it for inside other stuff as well and it's always been fine. The only wire I can think of that would melt at 130 degrees C would be solder (and maybe not even that)

I ♥ YOU!!! I one of these and took a picture to send to my friends and I got tons of requests for them, so I gave a ton away for Christmas gifts. I'm getting more and more requests and one of my friends even wore hers to school today. I plan to sell one on eBay just to see how much people will pay! You should do that too! Your's looks a million times better than mine! Thanks again for making me very happy!!!!

Thanks so much! ;D. I would have never made it as nicely without this tutorial. You're clay skills and tutorial making skills are amazing!

. You should do more clay tutorials! ;D.
