DIY Polymer Clay Pig Tutorial
Materials:
Instructions:
First create your very own custom “pink pig color” blend (I used Mauve Pearl, hot pink, & white premo clays) and condition it thoroughly.- Run your clay through the pasta machine on the 2nd largest setting.
- Cut a square of clay approximately 3″ x 3″.
- Cut out four large rounds using your Kemper cutter (these will become your feet).
- Cut four smaller rounds using your Kemper cutter (these will become your ears, tail, & nose).
- Roll the remaining sheet into a teardrop shape.
- Flatten the front a little (as shown in bottom left photo).
- Roll all clay rounds into balls keeping the larger rounds separate.
- Now roll the four large rounds into teardrops and attach them as to the bottom of the pig as legs.
- Using the smaller rounds, form two into ears and attach. Form one into a long snake and attach as a tail (make sure to twist & curl it like a piggies’ tail would be). Flatten the last round into a pancake and smoosh onto the front as a nose.
- Embed two round seed beads for eyes.
- Using your dotting tools, add nostril indentations.
- Bake at 265 degrees for 45-60 minutes covered in foil.
