Instructions

For Masks

1. Place wax paper onto a flat surface.
2. Melt 25 pieces of one color candy melts in a bowl. Microwave for about 20 seconds, stir and then another 10-20 seconds until smooth.
3. Stir in 1 teaspoon light corn syrup. Your clay will begin to form and almost be like a dough. Stir well. Place the ball of clay onto the wax paper and let cool and harden, about 20 minutes.
4. Repeat with the remaining colors until you have four balls of clay.
5. Knead the clay, one color at a time, with your hands. Use a little corn starch if the clay is really sticky. The clay is very hard at first. You may think you've made a mistake, but you did not. Use your muscles and body heat to smooth the clay. Knead it a few times.
6. Flatten the clay like a thick pancake in the palms of your hand. Sprinkle your surface with cornstarch and roll the clay to about ¼" thickness.
7. Use the back of a table knife to cut a mask shape into the clay. Remove from the table and round the edges with your fingers if necessary.
8. Place onto the candy, gently press to affix, and trim the excess with the back of the table knife.
9. Add 2 eyes by pressing into the candy clay, and continue until all colors are used.
