Simply place the halo on top of the angel's head. For a stronger hold, coat the inside rim of the halo with liquid clay first. Measure the eye pin against the angel first. The eye part of the pin should rest right against the top of the angel's head. If the pin is too long, cut it down with a pair of wire cutters. Once the pin is the right length, push it right through the top of the angel. Follow the baking instructions on your package of clay, but only bake it for half the recommended time. This will bake the head, body, and arms the rest of the way. The hair, wings, and halo will also get baked all the way as they are thinner. Use a permanent pen to add to small dots for the eyes. Add two thin curves above each eye for the eyebrows. Draw a small curved line or a dot for the mouth. If you carved a mouth, you don't have to draw it. Alternatively, you can paint on the face instead using acrylic paint and a thin paintbrush. Add some blush with a q-tip, if desired. You can use colored powder, actual blush, or pink water color. Keep the blush light and pale. Choose a glaze meant for polymer clay, then apply it using a paintbrush. You can also add some iridescent glitter glue along the wings and base to make it more sparkly. If you want to use the angel as a charm: twist open a jump ring with a pair of needle nose pliers. Slip the jump ring through the eye pin, then twist it close. If you want to use the angel as an ornament: thread some string through the eye pin. Tie the ends of the string together into a loop. You can also use the angel as a figurine. Stand it on your desk, shelf, or wherever you'd like.
