Christmas pudding jar topper

Get in the festive sprit with this clay jar topper!

You will need:

- clay ( brown, white, red and green ) i used cloud clay and coloured it using acrylic paint
- a clean jar with a screw on lid


1. make sure your jar is clean 

2. Soften your clay and colour it if necessary, you need a large brown piece to cover the lid and some white, a little green and a little red clay.

3. Mould the brown clay into a dome shape and press onto the lid of the jar, it doesn't need to be perfect as imperfections make it look more realistic!

4. Roll out the remaining white clay


5. Cut out a splatter shape then smooth over the ' pudding ' this forms the ' icing '

6. Cut out some holly leaves from the green clay and make a small ball from the red icing, lithely press them onto the icing, be careful not to squish them though!

Bake or leave to dry then you can add a gloss finish or just leave it!

Fill your jar with christmassy sweets and enjoy!!!
