Custom snowman

Soon New Year's holidays, and all needlewomen want to not only give their family and friends something original and unique, but also create an atmosphere of celebration in the house. Here, a versatile little thing will be nothing more than a handmade figurine in the shape of a snowman, but not an ordinary one, but a little non-standard. She will give the house a mischief and a sense of celebration, but in addition, it will also be a wonderful gift.
So, for work we need such materials:
- bar of white polymer clay
- colored polymer clay (black, burgundy, blue and pink)
- stationery knife
- thick flexible wire
- foil of any density
First, you need to create the frame of the future snowman, shape the legs, arms, body and head. It is also necessary to take into account that polymer clay will be applied to the frame, so the legs, arms and torso need to be made slightly longer than planned for the finished snowman, and the head, on the contrary, is smaller. The head frame needs to be made voluminous, it is best to make the wire weave crosswise on the crown. Gently bend the edges of the wire with pliers, fix the connection points of the wire so that there is no movement.
Now we wrap the foil on the frame, paying special attention to the stomach and head, we stuff them the most, because it is they that will give volume to the future product. We do not wrap hands and feet with foil so that the figure is more stable.
We apply the first layer of white polymer clay, previously softened and rolled out with a thickness of about 2-3 millimeters. You don’t have to worry that the figure is angular and dented, further layers of clay will be superimposed.
From a new piece of white clay we roll out the layer and form a face, while making a sharp long nose and hollows for the eyes.
We put more layers of clay on the stomach (bigger), cover our palms and feet.
From burgundy clay we roll out a long thin sausage and form pants, wrapping a sausage in a figure.
Following the same principle, we form a blue polymer clay sweater for the snowman, paying special attention to the sleeves.
From blue clay we put a small ball into the pits for the eyes, flatten them and form the eyes.
We make pupils out of black polymer clay.
From burgundy clay we make a long thin sausage, fold it in half and carefully, making sure that it does not break, twist it clockwise.
We wrap the resulting snowman’s double sausage. It will be a hat.
We supplement the cap with a blue stripe and end on the crown, carefully wrapping the tip of the sausage in the center of the cap.
From burgundy clay we make a thin sausage and form a smile.
Now we take the remainder (or make a new one) of the twisted burgundy sausage and wrap it around the belt, on a blue sweater.
We make a small ball from the same burgundy clay, flatten it and sculpt in the center, this is our belt buckle.
We take pink polymer clay and make a small long plate from it.
With black polymer clay (namely a very thin sausage) we put any word on the plate.
We attach a plate to the hands of a snowman.
We bake our snowman according to the instructions for polymer clay and that's it, our figure is ready!
