Crafts of a plasticine pig on clover

The main nuance of sculpting is the green clover leaf on which you need to sit or lay the pig. Clover is formed from 4 plates of mass, fastened in the center; for realism, a leaf stem is attached from the same green plasticine.

roll the head into a ball and the body into a sausage;
connect two parts, smooth out the joints;

How to make a pig from plasticine

What can you use to make a toy pig with your own hands? You can use absolutely any materials if you model crafts with your children. For example, plasticine, which is in every baby’s arsenal, is suitable. In this lesson I will show you how to make a pig from plasticine with your own hands.

DIY plasticine pig

To sculpt a pig you need to prepare:

1 or 2 bars of yellow plasticine;
pink plasticine;
white and red plasticine;
a drop of blue plasticine;
match or toothpick.

How to make a pig from plasticine with your own hands step by step

Prepare children's plasticine for work. Surely, you will find in it a convenient stack for dividing and processing blocks. Usually pigs are depicted as pink, but we will make a yellow one. Therefore, prepare plasticine of exactly this color. If you only have one yellow block, you can mix it with orange or white to create more mass to create a larger pig.

Knead the plasticine in your hands and roll a fairly large ball.

Divide this ball into pieces to create the head and ears, body and legs of the animal. For the head, make a smaller ball and squeeze it on one side. Also prepare small yellow balls for the ears and nose. To highlight all the details and make a patch, roll small beads from pink plasticine.

Turn 2 small yellow balls into flat droplets and stick pink beads on top. This way you will get floppy pig ears. Turn the pink ball into a round cake, stick a pink bead on top and pierce 2 holes with a match head. This way you will get a penny. Glue eyes with blue pupils and pink eyebrows onto the head.

Glue the patch in the center of the head, the bottom lip, and also the 2 ears on top. The pig's head is ready. You can put it aside for now, later we will put a New Year's hat on top.

Use the bulk of the yellow plasticine to sculpt the body - a large, weighty drop. Insert a match or toothpick into the sharp part of the drop.

Fasten the head and torso. Prepare a long red ribbon with white ends and striped with a stack. This will be a scarf for the pig. Also prepare a red cone for the cap. Add a white bead to the upper tip of the cone, and stick a white stripe at the bottom. Turn them into fur pieces.

Place a New Year's hat on your pig's head and a scarf on his neck. Also make arms and legs from the leftover yellow plasticine. Pink hooves are glued to the end of each piece.

Assemble the figurine completely, you can make the pig sit, then you will need to prepare a stand for it, or stand.

Crochet the pink sausage into a tail and glue it to the back to complete the pig's look.

Place your figurine on a pedestal and place it under the Christmas tree.
