How to Sculpt a Santa Claus Souvenir from Polymer Clay

Santa Claus of polymer clay.

Materials:

- clay (адуыр-coloured, red, white, black)

- paper knife

- toothpick

Sculpt blanks: a body, hat, sleeves, mittens and boots.

Sculpt blanks for the face: head, nose, eyes.

Assemble all main parts.

Next, make blanks for small parts:

- roll cords for the coat and hat

- prepare a beard, moustache and eyebrows

Attach the parts to the base and give them textures for the old man to become more realistic.
For this, you only need one toothpick (press clay slightly to give some irregularities; add stripes to beard, moustache and eyebrows).

After the texture is finished, insert small white dots in the eyes and bake (I set it up for 25-30 minutes at 130 degrees).

After baking, Santa Claus will become very dense, it can be hung on the Christmas tree or used as a souvenir.
