Hades Pins



Lord of the underworld has got to represent. 


Time: Two Days

What You'll need:

AirDry clay (I used crayola)
Acrylic paint in colors of your choice
Paint brushes
Hot glue gun
Glue gun sticks
Pin backs




 Skull Pin

1) Form clay in the shape of mushroom. It's okay if it's not paper thin, you need some thickness so that the pin won't crack apart as its drying.

2) let dry over night

3) paint pin grey and then add black details. Let dry.

4. Hot glue pin back to non paint side of the pin. Wait for glue to cool.

Button pins

1. Form clay into a ball and then press it onto a flat surface so that it becomes a "coin". At least one side has to be flat.

2. Let dry

3. Paint buttons however you want. Paint on the non flat side. I made some for Pain and Panic (Hades' minion), H for Hades, a worn out Olympic coin (from the movie), and classic 90s alien and yin/yang. Let paint dry.

4. Hot glue your pin back to the flat side without paint. Let glue cool.

Discussion: the pins are one time use. The hot glue keeps popping off. Does anyone know of a stronger glue that might work?
