When it comes to the legends of the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone will think of Chang'e flying to the moon, Wu Gang cutting osmanthus, and the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine. Today we will make creative clay handicrafts for the Mid-Autumn Festival - lifelike Jade Rabbit and moon cakes.

Mooncakes are an indispensable element of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Together with the cute jade rabbit, they give people endless imagination. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. On the day when everyone is reunited, you can have a unique craft and knead creativity and warmth into the clay.

Here, have a happy and meaningful Mid-Autumn Festival!

The step-by-step diagram below shows how to make mooncakes first. Use brown (brown + orange is adjustable) clay to make a round cake. Then cut the brown clay into long and thin strips and wrap them around the round cake.

Use a clay tool to press out the pattern around the mooncake, then knead the brown clay into thin strips to make the words and patterns on the mooncake, as shown in the picture above.

Coat the surface of the mooncake with red color powder, and finally apply a layer of bright oil, and the mooncake is ready.

Start making the jade rabbit. Use off-white (white + yellow adjustable) clay to knead the head of the little rabbit, and then draw the eyes, nose and mouth.

Make the rabbit's long ears from off-white clay, and paint the ear sockets with orange color powder.

Knead the off-white clay into a round ball to make the body of the jade rabbit, glue it with the head, glue on the small tail, and then stick the jade rabbit on the moon cake. Make the limbs of the jade rabbit with off-white clay and glue them together, and then make a bitten one.

Put the moon cake into the hand of the Jade Rabbit.

Use yellow clay to make some small discs and sprinkle them on the moon cakes and jade rabbit heads for decoration. These are osmanthus flowers.
