Christmas tree toy “Sheep”

New Year is coming, time to give and receive present, decorate the Christmas tree and enjoy the winter holidays. What could be more beautiful than a handmade gift or a Christmas tree decoration created together with children, which will remind you of the fun moments spent together for a long time. Below is a master class on creating a Christmas tree toy in the shape of a cute sheep from cold porcelain. This toy can be made from any other air-drying polymer clay, or from salt dough.
Tools and materials: cold white and beige porcelain, foam ball, PVA glue, floral wire, pen refill. Acrylic or oil paints in red, black, white, brush, pliers, satin ribbon, rhinestones.

Acrylic or oil paints


We twist the wire and create a loop from it, which we stick into the foam ball.

Apply PVA glue to half the surface of the ball.

We tear off a small piece of white porcelain, roll out a small layer from it and carefully begin to sculpt it onto the ball, sealing the place where the wire loop is located.After half the ball is covered with porcelain, apply glue to the other half and do the same manipulations until the entire ball is evenly covered with porcelain.

Tear off a small piece


Using the other end of the fountain pen rod, we begin to create the texture of the wool; the process is painstaking, since you will have to “poke” the rod for quite a long time to obtain “curls.”

Let's start sculpting the face. Roll out a beige ball, approximately a quarter the size of the lamb's body. We form a drop from the ball. We cut a piece of porcelain from the drop, diagonally, so that the muzzle easily sticks to the body of the lamb.

Use your finger to press on the middle of the white ball, moving the porcelain slightly to the sides, making room for the muzzle. Apply glue and apply a beige drop with a cut to the white ball. Then lightly press the drop, from above and below, giving the shape of a muzzle.

To fix the muzzle to the body, roll out a strip of white porcelain, apply glue around the muzzle and fix the strip with a rod, giving it texture.

shaping


Let's start shaping the face. Let's start with the nose. With the other side of the rod we form two indentations at the bottom of the drop, then using a flat stack or just a nail file we finish forming the nose; if desired, you can also make a smile for the sheep.

Create the eyes. Roll out two small balls of white porcelain. Apply glue to the top of the head and glue them. Then, using a rod, we form the pupils by lightly pressing them into the middle of the balls.

Our sheep also needs ears. We make them from beige porcelain. Roll out two small droplets, then use a thin, pointed stack to make a depression in them. Apply glue near the muzzle and press the ears in a stack to the body of the sheep. To decorate the toy you can use rhinestones, beads, flowers, sparkles, bows and much more.

Let's start painting the eyes and cheeks. We paint the pupils of the eyes with black paint, then make highlights in the corners of the pupils with white paint.

We tint the cheeks with highly diluted red paint; after drying, you can paint freckles on them. It will also look interesting if you give the nose an accent with heavily diluted red paint.

All that remains is to thread the ribbon through the wire loop, tie a bow and enjoy the result of the work of your golden hands. Our sheep is ready to decorate the New Year's green beauty.
