Introduction: Miniskirt Clay Figure: Squirtle

I was inspired by Pokemon Get ahead and photos of clay Pokemon charms to make my have. Hither are the steps I secondhand myself and shared with kids grades K-5.

Step out 1: Assemble Clay

For this project, you will need polymer oven bake clay in several colours. I have used both Fimo and Sculpey brands.

Supplies:

1/3 stick blue

1/3 stick white

1/3 stick dark-brown

pinch black

pinch knock

a toothpick

a baking sheet, foil, and an oven for hardening the clay

Step 2: Create the Trunk

Tear the white clay piece into deuce chunks; matchless about 2/3 of the stiff and the separate 1/3.

Roll the larger piece into a sphere in your palms. Use your fingers and a flat control surface to shape into a piston chamber.

Step 3: Head and Legs

Rent the naughty clay into half-dozen pieces: one bigger tack together for the head, four small pieces for the arms and legs, and one slightly larger piece for the give chase.

Roll out the largest dark piece between your palms into a sphere for the head. Gently press out the head word onto one flat edge of the livid torso.

Roll four small blue pieces into balls as well. Come with the rounded edge of the dilute body arsenic arms and legs.

Step 4: Shell

Pluck the John Brown piece into a ball and manipulation a flat surface (like your table) to flatten into a disc.

Roll the white piece into a snake between your fingers or on a flat control surface.

Wrap the white snake approximately the brown disc, pinching off the spare. This is your shell!

Place the vanquis on the back of the Squirtle (the side without arms or legs). Gently curve the shell so it wraps around the body and head.

Step 5: Tail

Straighten the last firearm of strict into a thick serpent.

Curl the snake around into a swirl on the backward of the shell as a tail.

Measure 6: Eyes and Cheeks

Pinch off two tiny bits of black and roll them into balls. You May flatten them slimly. Place on the head.

Abstract off cardinal tiny bits of pink and also roll them into balls. Place them just under the eyes.

Tone 7: Details on Torso and Shell

Use a toothpick to draw a vertical line of business and threesome horizontal lines on the body.

Past use the toothpick to pull back two eellike lines on the shell, starting at the edge of the shell and curving inward.

Ill-trea 8: Bake Your Figure!

Your Squirtle is now complete! Follow the package directions on your polymer clay for baking and solidifying the figure.

I put foil down when I bake polymer remains and gently encamp it over the figure.
