Detailed tutorial on how to make a super cool soft clay octopus mouse placing table
Does the computer at home restrict young children from moving around on their own? Parents can hide the mouse, but if they are watching, they can put the mouse high enough that children cannot reach it. Today the octopus we made out of polymer clay is used to place the mouse. Isn’t it very cool? Don't worry, just follow the tutorial step by step and you can complete it. And it can be given as a New Year gift to friends who also have children at home.
Okay, you guessed it right, such a placement table cannot be made by polymer clay alone. We still need to use iron wire to make a bracket. Then the first step is to use four wires to make the eight-clawed octopuss frame, and also to arrange the shape, put the mouse, and adjust the position where the eight claws can support it stably. Use thin wire to reinforce the details.
Next, we need to mix various colors of soft clay together and knead it into gray clay with dark and light patterns. Then we can take out a piece, roll it out thinly, and stick it on the head as the head of the octopus. Then use clay close to the skin color to stick it on the lower part of the head, both inside and outside. And cut the dark polymer clay into eight strips to make eight claws. When wrapping the wire, try not to damage the position of the wire, otherwise the mouse may become unstable. Then use light yellow soft clay to make two eyes, process the details, and use white to make small pattern spots on the octopus. Next, use blue mixed with a little orange clay to pick out the dark blue color, cut it into small sections, roll it into thin strips, and stick it on the inside of the paw. Then roll the dark clay into thin strips, cut off very small pieces, and stick them on the inside of the octopuss eight claws as suction cups. Just wait until the clay dries and hardens. If it is not very stable when placed on the computer screen, you can use a piece of clay to stick the octopus and the screen together, so that it is very stable.
