Cat on the pillow pencil topper was created for kids and adults who love collecting specialty pencils.


Steps to make cat on the pillow pencil topper:

First of all, choose type of clay you want to use. Any clay including home-made clay would be okay.

I use home-made cold porcelain clay for the cat and soft magic clay from Crayola for the pillow. 

If you don't have clay and want to buy one at your local craft store or online, I would suggest you to buy Crayola Magic Clay for soft feeling or Fimo Air which will hardened like porcelain.

Both are air dry (dry in room temperature without baking). As for Fimo Air clay, it can be hardened in microwave to speed up the drying process. 

Don forget to knead the clay well until it's warm and soft before start with the modeling.
