Do you wanna build a snowman?

Olaf the snowman is a cute cartoon charter from this years hit movie, Frozen. Here he is created using white polymer clay, orange and black polymer clay and some wire pieces. Alternatively instead of wire pieces you could use ready baked brown clay arms and hair that you have previously made.



Step 1: soften the white clay and split it into a small piece , a medium sized piece and a large piece, make sure you still have some left over for the feet.

Step 2: Roll the larger and smaller pieces into a ball and place on top of each other.

Step 3: make a teardrop shape for the head using the medium sized piece of white clay and place onto of the smaller ball.

Step 4: split the remaining white clay and roll into two small ovals. attach these to the bottom of your snowman to look like feet.

Step 5: roll the orange clay into a carrot shape, make sure that one end is slightly thicker and bumpy-er than the other, just like Olaf's!

Step 6: using a pencil or clay tool to poke a hill in Olaf's head to attach the nose.

Step 7: using a black permanent marker add on some eyes.


Step 8: roll out three small pieces of black clay and attach them so they look like buttons.

Step 9: cut some wire pieces and poke into the body to form arms and hair, you could make one of the hairs into a loop so you can make it into a phone charm or keyring.


Finally bake your Olaf, if you fined that the white clay has collected a lot of dust paint over it with regular white paint then 2 layers of clay varnish to seal.
