Elves made of polymer clay. Polymer Clay Swamp Elf
Print Thank you, great lesson +2
How do you imagine the elves, probably the way they are described by their fantastic works or portrayed by animators. Elves are mythical creatures, no one knows how they should really look, because they simply do not exist. But, perhaps, the most significant distinguishing feature of an elf as a mythical creature is its long, pointed ears. In this sculpting lesson, we will reproduce our elf man, remembering that he should have bright hair of some unusual color, for example, green, purple or pink. Also, this character must have a kind face and massive hands.

The open parts of the body of an elf, as well as a person, will be sculpted from beige plasticine. Blind the ball.
Stick a very small spout into the center of the balloon. Attach your eyes a little further.
Add pupils with white highlights. Make a smile with stacks. A few rays of wrinkles near the eyes will also complement the good-natured expression on the face.
Glue on thin eyebrows. Attach the ears, pointed at the tips.
Make a tousled hairstyle out of any bright plasticine. For example, use purple plasticine. Roll up a lot of oblong sausages and stick on the bald part of the head.
To create the lower part of the figure, prepare a bright ball, beige cylinders and elongated shoes, bent up at the ends.
Attach your feet to the ball, add shoes.
Attach the upper torso, add arms, preferably making the hands disproportionately massive to show that the miniature elf has enough magic power.
Attach your head.
Here is such a fantastic elf figure turned out, this guide is not universal, because you can make your own craft using different colors of plasticine, dressing the little man in different clothes.
Elf Dobby from the famous Harry Potter saga is a character known all over the world. His appearance is very unusual and interesting. In this master class, we suggest you make a Dobby doll out of polymer clay do it yourself.
Materials (edit)
To make a doll with your own hands, you will need:
- flesh-colored polymer clay;
- copper and aluminum wire;
- floristic tape;
- wool for felting beige;
- a piece of fabric (cotton, cream shade);
- alcohol;
- needle;
- threads;
- acrylic paints;
- brushes;
- foil;
- drill;
- tools for working with polymer clay;
- nippers;
- felting needle;
- scissors;
- sheet of paper and pencil.
Step 1... Draw on a piece of paper what your doll will look like. Draw the drawing in full size of the future product.
Step 2... Cut a piece of thick copper wire... You will need to make a doll frame out of it. Form the skeleton of the doll, which will support the head and become a kind of spine, from two pieces of wire, twisted together with coils of moderate density. The doll's legs and arms are single pieces of wire.
Step 3... Roll a ball out of foil. This will be the base for sculpting the doll's head.
Step 4... Use thinner aluminum wire to form small parts of the Dobby doll, such as toes and hands. Attach them to the existing frame.
Step 5... Wrap aluminum wire along the entire length of the resulting frame to reinforce it.
Step 6... Sculpt polymer clay in pieces over the foil ball until you get the base you want in the size and shape you want.
Step 7... Using a clay needle, mark the locations of the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Step 8... Sculpt the doll's nose out of clay, giving it the shape of a long triangle.
Step 9... Attach two large balls to the sides of the nose and add strips of clay to the upper and lower eyelids.
Step 10... Add a little clay around the cheeks and distribute it evenly with smooth movements.
Step 11... Form the lips from the elongated layers of polymer clay, add some material to the surface between the lips and nose, and also for the chin.
Step 12... Use the tools to give Dobby's face the characteristic wrinkles. With a brush dipped in alcohol, smooth out all the irregularities and roughness on the doll's face.
Step 13... Send the prepared head to the oven for 20 minutes at a temperature of 130 degrees Celsius.
Step 14... Shape the elf's ears from large triangular polymer clay layers, giving them characteristic curves.
Step 15... Form hands from polymer clay and send the blank to the oven for 20 minutes at the same temperature. Then mold the elf's fingers.
Step 16... Repeat the steps similar to step 15, forming the doll's legs.
Step 17... Color Dobby. For lips and skin, use peach and pink shades. Add depth to the wrinkles with brown paint.
Step 18... Draw the whites of the eyes, outline the iris with black paint. Paint it yellow or green. Make the pupil black by adding a drop of white paint over the tone.
Step 19... Drill a hole in Dobby's head with a thin drill bit and attach it to the wire frame.

How to make an elf with your own hands
Making the elf's hands. White clay roll it into a sausage and cut it in two. Roll out the green clay thinly and cut into strips. We wrap the white sausage in three strips and bend it in the middle by about 90 0. Tighten one end of the sausage slightly.
We make brushes of their flesh-colored clays and attach them to the hands. Glue the finished hands to the body. For the stability of the head, we fix a toothpick in the center of the body. We wrap it in a white collar.
It remains for us to make the head of an elf. To do this, form a ball out of flesh-colored clay. Glue a small ball in the center of the head and slightly flatten it to form a nose. With the help of the stack we will make the nostrils and mouth. With a thin brush acrylic paints let's draw the eyes. To make the ears - roll up a drop, press on both sides and from the blunt side, use a stack to make indentations. We glue the ears to the head.
Next, we blind the elf's hat. Roll a drop of red clay again. The end of the droplet from the blunt side is pressed inward with our fingers so that the cap fits well on the head. And stretch the opposite edges a little to make the ears.
