DIY Doll Craft Using Clay

Materials Required

Sheet Of Paper (White, Blue, Yellow)
Purple Clay Dough
Glue Stick
A Pair Of Scissors
Black And Red Sketch Pen
Tooth Pick
Purple Marker

Procedure

Step 1: Starting With The Sheets Of Paper

Take a white sheet of paper and cut a circle out of it. Now, take a yellow sheet of paper and cut out a shape resembling a head with a neck connected to it. Paste the head in the middle of the white circular sheet. See the picture below for reference.

Step 2: Pasting The Blue Sheet Of Paper

Take a blue sheet of paper and cut a trapezium out of it. This trapezium should have slightly curved sides. Now, paste the trapezium on the neck of the head you pasted earlier. See the picture below for reference.

Step 3: Making Drawings On The Face

Draw the eyes of the doll!

Step 4: Making A Nose And A Mouth

Draw a small nose in the middle of the face using the same sketch pen. Now, taking a red sketch pen, draw a smiley below the nose that you just drew. See the picture below for reference.

Step 5: Working With The Clay Dough

Using the same sketch pen add an oval dot below each eye to add some blush to its cheeks. Now, take some purple clay dough and start molding it until it becomes flexible enough to be molded into different shapes as shown in the picture below.

Step 6: Pasting The Clay On The Sheet

Mold the clay into ninety small balls and place three balls around the left circumference of the face. They should be placed next to each other in a close-knit fashion as shown in the picture below.

Step 7: Placing More Clay Balls

Place more clay balls around the circumference of the face following a similar pattern as you did for the three clay balls in the previous step. See the picture below for reference.

Step 8: Covering the entire head

Cover the entire circumference with all the clay balls that you molded out. They need to be positioned in a cloistered pattern in order to achieve the hair-like structure desired as shown in the picture below.

Step 9: Make Small Holes In The Clay Balls

Using a toothpick, poke light holes in all the clay balls that you pasted on the head of the face. See the picture below for reference.

Step 10: Adding Definition To The Background

Take a purple marker and make small spirals throughout the blank white sheet in the background. Now, add some dots in between these spirals as well. See the picture below for reference.

Final Step: Gorgeous Doll Face Lady

This completes the tutorial and we are left with a beautiful doll-face lady with purple curly hair and blush cheeks.
