Cookie Monster Mug



Cookies and Milk anyone?!?!

I made this for my cousins boat "Cookie Monster". (Yes the family boat is named the Cookie Monster...lol) 

This was made by taking two slabs of clay about 1/4 in thick, 2 circular slabs about 1/4 in thick and a pulled handle about 7 in long.

First take the larger slab of clay and make a cylinder tube, join edges. Then take the circular slab and join this to one end of the circular tube (edges may be larger it is okay you can just  trim them at this time). Next you make the same width cylinder as the first one you made. Once the sides are joined you then join the second cylinder slab as you just did to the first one. Now take the smaller slab and join it to the bottom of the larger cylinder. Now take a butter knife and cut a rectangle about 3 1/2 inches wide. now you have a shelf to put cookies on.!!! Last step is to attach the handle to the left side of the cup (when looking at the cut hole). 

Then you get to fire and paint. This will work with any character design really. 

ENJOY!!!
