For the skulls, I simply rolled the paperclay into a little ball and eased a bbq skewer through the centre (again, you can try this step after it dries instead). Later, you will be using this hole to string the ribbon through.
I used the sharp tip of the skewer to indent facial features in the clay.
Once it is dry, you can paint it white and spray with a finishing enamel.
