Instructions
- Break off a hunk of black clay that is about the size you'd like your final niffler to be.
- Separate black clay into portions: 4 pieces about 1/10 the size of the hunk, one piece 1/3 the size of the remainder.
- Shape the biggest piece into a fat cylinder and flatten the "front" and "back" forming the body.
- With the 1/3 portion of clay, roll it into a ball, flatten the back, then elongate the front, forming the head.
- With the four remaining 1/10 portions, form small cylinders and place on the body as arms and legs wrapping around toward the front.
- To make the beak, use the orange clay to form a wide, long triangle with a rounded front and fat back the same size and width as the face.
- Place beak on the face.
- Make 2 very small off-white balls with the off-white clay and mush them onto the face above the beak.
- Make 2 even smaller black balls of black clayand mush them onto the white circles you just placed.
- Form a tiny ball of orange clay and roll it in the glitter.
- Place this tiny golden nugget in the niffler's hands.
- Trim the eye pin to about 1/2-inch long.
- Slide eye pin into the top of the niffler's head or wherever you want.
- Place the snitch into the oven on wax paper for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow niffler to cool completely.
- Seal the niffler.
- Attach a jump ring to eye pin .
- Thread necklace into jump ring.
- Enjoy!
