Reborn DIY: Modeling a Baby with Open Eyes

This tutorial is on how to model a baby's head with open eyes. The tools and materials you need:

  • polymer clay,
  • glass eyes,
  • modeling stick and needle with a blunt point.

Before you start working, it is recommended to knead polymer clay. In this tutorial I use Puppen Fimo, although it's not my favourite polymer clay - has some disadvantages - the naps stick too much, it is kneaded hard and it tough to work with. My recommendation - Prosculpt or Living Doll.

You need to take a small piece, with a diameter of about 5cm and shape the future face:

Now outline the facial features; to do this, draw lines exactly vertically and horizontally. The main horizontal line will serve as a cue to determine where to put the eyes, the vertical line will help to find the places for the nose and lips.

Now put the eyes, push them into the plastic:

Roll a thin 'sausage' of plastic and put its piece above and under the eyes.

Stick a triangle between the eyes.

Now use the tool to smooth polymer clay with it.

Now sculpt the nose.

And once again.

Make the nostrils and wings of the nose using the blunt point of the needle.

Make a triangle and put it under the nose, this is the upper lip.

Again align

Using the tool is slightly pressed plastic from the side of Ugarov lips

Then make the lower lip and chin with the help of the tool.

Smooth the cheeks with your fingers and the tool.

Now the small ears.

They should be here)

That's what finally comes out :)

Before baking, touch the cheeks, forehead and nose with rouge.
