Polymer Clay Garfield

I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas

I’d also like to say, Happy New Year! (in advance)

I made this garfield as a gift for my friend as part of christmas celebrations.

pls note: this is more of a process post as opposed to a step by step tutorial. This was made in such a rush, that I did not have the time.

As always, start with a reference.

Materials Required:

• Polymer clay in orange, yellow, light pink, white and black (remember you can mix colours)
• Cutter
• Wire (I got mine from a local hardware store)

Let’s start! (I wasn’t able to take pictures of the first few steps, so I have created these illustrations)

Step 1- Roll out a ball of orange clay. If you want, you can fill it with scrap clay like in Polymer Clay Dumbledore.

Step 2- Make 2 triangles and add them to the head as ears.

Step 3- Make the eyes and add these to the face.

Step 4- Add a yellow strip of clay shaped like the pattern below beneath the eyes to resemble his snout. Add a pink ball as the nose.

Step 5- Add black coils to the ears and side of the face.

Step 7- Add the arms to the body in a folded position as shown.
