•   Roll the clay into a sausage shape until it's about the same length as the inside of your old pen.

•   For a stripy tiger effect put some small bits of oven bake clay onto the sausage. Push the little bits into the clay and keep on rolling.

•   Before you pull the skewer all the way out, close up one end so the pen won't slide out.

•   Pull the rest of the skewer out. Then transfer the clay to a baking tray and bake it according to the instructions on the packet.
