Model Magic with Tools

Household Tools

There are many household or kitchen tools that you can use with Model Magic®. Be sure to check with an adult first to make sure the tools are safe.

Fork or Comb

Use a fork or comb to create interesting textures on your creations.

Marker Caps and Straws

Press a marker cap or straw into moist Model Magic® to create "bubble-like" effects for eyes or bumps. You can use a straw to poke a hole all the way through the Model Magic®. Once it is dry, string ribbon or yarn through the hole to hang.

Rolling Pin or Marker

Flatten Model Magic® by rolling a rolling pin or marker over it. Repeat back and forth until the Model Magic is flattened to the thickness you want.

Crayola® Stencils or Cookie Cutters

Use Crayola® stencils or cookie cutters to create consistent shapes.

Scissors

Use scissors to cut either moist or partially dry Model Magic® into shapes or to add a decorative fringe effect. It is recommended that you cut Model Magic before it completely dried.

Paper Towel Rolls

Wrap Model Magic around cardboard tubes or balls of crumpled newspaper to build large shapes.

Detailing

Use different items or textures to add decorative details to your artwork.

Gemstones

Decorate Model Magic with faux gemstones for a sparkly jeweled look. Glue the gems onto dry Model Magic® or press gems into moist Model Magic®.

Buttons

Press buttons into moist Model Magic® or glue them on after the Model Magic is dry.

Feathers

Attach feathers by pressing them into Model Magic® or gluing to the artwork for furry animals and feathery birds.

Paper Clips

Slide paper clips into moist Model Magic® so that only the top part is showing. Allow to dry then string ribbon or yarn through the hole to hang.
