What toys can I make with handmade light clay?

The first time I got into handmade clay was mainly because I had to prepare my friend's birthday present for her last year. It was my best friend from college, and since I love flowers, she used to go out and come back to buy me a bouquet of flowers. Unfortunately, she is allergic to pollen, so I couldn't send her flowers. So when I was thinking about what to give her as a gift, I wondered if I could give her a bouquet of handmade flowers. After googling a lot of tutorials and information, I decided to go for handmade clay for kneading.

Wrapped up in a bouquet of flowers, you can make them look real

A single flower without coloring looks like this

Materials needed to make handmade clay flowers are actually very simple, and all you need to make them is clay, coloring powder (for the coloring tool), a wooden stick or a wire (to pretend to be a flower stem), and a bottle of clear nail polish (for the coloring). /strong>. The main part is done with clay.

Specific steps

1, first of all, you need to pinch a teardrop shape as a stamen.

2, here the pointed end of the stamen, thick and wire together, and then insert the stamen this way to the top of the wire

3, the next pinch petals. You need to pinch one petal at a time. To first roll a small pile of round balls, pinch into this shape:

4, pinch this direction towards the fan pinch, and the petals as narrow as the upper width, I like to pinch will be more natural, fingerprints feel like the petals of their own texture; you can also use a stick ah ah ah ah ah ah ah cylinders like a rolling pin rolled out like a rolling pin to roll out the pinch into this look can be:

Please click on the loss of the petal can be thin can also be thick, depending on whether you want real flowers or cute ~ look more real words to thin, cute on the thick will be very much like succulent. Into the picture description

5, the next petals around the stamen package up can be, a little tighter can be, like this:

6, package a few pieces of tighter can begin to start wrapping the looser outside, the more outward part of the sticky petals up to the appropriate leave a little space, do not let the lower part of the petals tightly attached to the buds to loosen a little bit so that it loosens.

A few more pieces will look like a flower

7. The size of the flower can be adjusted according to the shape you want. Because the clay has not completely dried out (when it dries out, it's not sticky), you can adjust the size of the flower according to what you want. Then pay attention to the sticky petals when not the whole tight, mainly the edge of the petals to stick, the center and the main body do not connect tight, or very unnatural. If the flower is done underneath the excess out of a small round head to it pulled off on it.

8, on the color part is very simple, the color powder with a knife down into powder on it, and then brush brush in the petals, the color can be adjusted, if you choose is other pigments on the color, as long as the color can be filled. Finally, use transparent nail polish on the edge of the petals, pretending to have a flower with its own water light can be fake it.

When I gave the flower to my friend, she was shocked!

Besides the roses, I also used the leftover materials to make a chicken and a prince:

While I was working on the clay, I felt that it wasn't just a handmade work, but also my best wishes and heartfelt wishes for my friend. Most importantly, it's very cheap material, and doesn't need hundreds of dollars like fresh cut flowers to be wrapped up into a big bunch, and can be preserved for a long time. What a romantic thing to give your lover or friend a bouquet of roses that will never wither!

All in all, handmade clay is a very interesting activity, you can watch TV while slowly pinching, just in your free time you can make it very cute. Come and try it together~
