with no time or money to get clay or go to the butchers for real bones, i need to figure out a cheap way to make very realistic bones from home todayideas?
It sounds really cute but i think it's to hot
Mix up a batch of salt dough clay.1 cup water,2 cups salt,2 cups flourMix well and knead for about 10 minutes to be sure salt is dissolvedNow sculpt a bone shape from crumbled aluminum foil.be sure to use enough to make it very compactedRoll out the salt dough with a rolling pin between 2 sheets of waxed paper to about a 1/4 thickness then use this sheet to cover the surface of your foil bone armatureOnce all covered, smooth out any seamsTake a tool with a sharp point and make tiny pin prick holes randomly all over the bone since bones don't usually look perfectly smooth or unblemishedBake the bone in a 250 degree oven for about 15-30 minutesThe longer it bakes the more golden looking the color will becomeAfter it has cooled, if it is too white, rub a little brown paint or even shoe polish on and wipe off immediatelyThe color will stay in any cracks that have formed and in the tiny holes.this will help it look more aged and realistic.
