You Will Need
-
Step 1
Make a ball using white polymer clay and form it into a flat oval shape approximately 7mm (¼in) thick and 20mm (¾in) wide.
-
Step 2
Cut a shallow opening at the base of the oval using a blade.
-
Step 3
Push the top of a metal paperclip into the opening and reform the oval around it so the paperclip is secure.
-
Step 4
Then make two even balls using black clay. Flatten these on your work surface to create discs that are approximately 7mm (¼in) wide.
-
Step 5
Cut a small portion off the bottom of both black discs to allow you to attach them more easily to the white shape. These will be the ears.
-
Step 6
Press the ears gently onto the top of the oval shape to create the panda’s head.
-
Step 7
Take some more black clay and create two small even balls and flatten them into ovals.
-
Step 8
Press the ovals onto the front of the panda head.
-
Step 9
Then flatten a small ball of white clay inside the black ovals.
-
Step 10
Add a face to the panda head, putting the eyes in the white circles you just created.
