Souvenir "Goat" by the New Year from polymer clay: how to make a souvenir for the New Year 2015

Souvenir-goat: a master class!

Before we sculpt, prepare the materials.

We will need:

• 
  polymer clay of different shades of lilac


• 
  sharp clerical knife


• 
  glass board for modeling


• 
  stack


• 
  awl


• 
  metal ring


• 
  toothpick


• 
  Adhesive and paint for polymer clay

Clay Fimo- the most accessible material. It has three types of density, for beginners it's best to work with soft, that is soft, if you have experience in making souvenirs, then take classic. The goat will have a fantasy, unusual look and color, besides, it's not just a souvenir, but a keychain or a pretty pendant for a mobile phone.

Make a souvenir for the New Year with your own hands

The first stage is preparatory. We roll 6 balls of different sizes. The main will be light purple, so we will need one large ball for making the trunk, one smaller for the head, a small one for the handles, etc. The decorative elements will be dark blue, pink and purple.

We begin the creation of our goat from the trunk, for whichtake a large lilac ball, roll it in his hands, slightly flattened in the middle. Using an awl we make a small semicircular groove in the base. Your workpiece should "stand" on a flat surface. We make hands. Cut off 2 small pieces of mastic, we form balls of them, then roll out the "sausages". We make sure that they are the same length and thickness. We glue to our body.

It remains to make a souvenir head, for thisuseful last ball basic shade. Once again we will roll it in hands, we will smooth all roughnesses and it is possible to attach to a trunk. Since the head is quite heavy, it is better to put it on a wooden pin (made, for example, from a toothpick), lubricated with special glue. The last detail is a twist. It is molded from a dark blue polymer. From the main piece, cut off a small fragment, make a ball from it, then a cone. Give the tip a flirtatious bend and glue it to the back of the trunk. So, the base of the craft is ready, we are engaged in decorating.

Since we are making a souvenir for the New Year, it's worthto bring elements of winter romance. One of them will be a multi-colored scarf. Cut off 2 identical pieces-pink and purple. We roll them out, into long thin bundles (we make sure that they are the same), we gently begin to weave each other. After you have a pigtail, reel it on the neck of a goat, the ends are beautifully laid out on the chest.

The main decorations of our craft are horns. They will be two-colored. We need lilac and violet polymer clay. Roll two not too thin sausages and cut into the same pieces. Connect one to the other, alternating color. One horn needs 3-4 pieces. Remember that the horns should be pointed. After you make them, set aside for a while and tackle the souvenirs for a goat souvenir. It should be two small lilac cakes, which you will give a teardrop shape. You can decorate them with a purple or blue strip. Glue the ears symmetrically to the head, above them will be located horns, and in the middle of the crown - a ring for the chain. Check the distance between the parts several times.

Another decoration of the product is lollipop. After making the scarf, you have a multi-colored strip - fold it into a circle and make a wand (it must be baked beforehand so that it is rigid). Put the candy in the paw of our goat.

It remains to draw with the help of a special eye paint (we used Ceramocoat) and send a souvenir to the oven.

So, the souvenir for the New Year is ready. We hope that a mischievous purple goat will bring joy and prosperity to your home.
