Create Your Own Art the Clown Christmas Ornament DIY

Materials Needed

To make your own Art ornament, you'll need:

• Polymer clay (white, red, black)
• Acrylic paint
• Clear gloss glaze
• Ornament hook or cap
• Sculpting tools

Sculpting the Ornament

Use the polymer clay to sculpt a miniature Art the Clown head and hands to attack out from the ornament. REFERENCE PHOTO. Detail the sinister facial features to capture Art's creepy smile and stare.

Facial Details

Use small sculpting tools to add ridges to the mouth, circles under the eyes, wrinkles on the forehead. Shape the iconic red nose and add clay spikes for hair.

Hands and Arms

Model the hands to look like they are reaching out from the ornament. Detail the fingers and long nails. Attach arms and position as desired.

Painting and Finishing

Paint the face white and add red makeup details. Paint costume stripes on arms and add any blood spatter as desired. Apply gloss glaze to give a porcelain finish. Add ornament cap and hanger.

FAQs

What kind of paint should I use?

Acrylic paint works best for getting clean lines on the small ornament sculpture. Make sure to seal the paint with a clear gloss finish.

What can I use if I don't have polymer clay?

Self-drying modeling clay or air-dry clay can substitute, but you'll need to seal the finished ornament well before painting. Paper mache over a sculpted form is another option.

How big should I make the Art ornament?

Make sure to size your design to fit as a tree ornament. Aim for a sculpture around 3-5 inches tall - Art's hands can reach out wider.

Is this ornament fragile?

Polymer clay produces a strong, durable ornament. As long as you bake it properly and use a sealant, it will hold up well over time. Handle with care like any ornament.
