Say Hi to Bamby with Peach: Handmade Clay Phone Hipper

Hello, how are you? So I've been practicing my chibi clay skills for months now, and I stopped for a while, but I decided to be back again and start doing what I sketch as my model.

So I posted some of the creations I made, and I feel like it is too big and too consuming of polymer clay. So I've been free lately, and I opened my notes for ideas of crafts I listed I wanted to try, and I saw Phone Hipper, which is a cute design for a phone.

And yeah, I decided to make one for me. Took time to get used to it.

---

Materials I Used:

---

Craft Time!

This idea is stuck in my draft storage in my brain. I've been liking Bamby from Plave, so I decided to make him my reference and make it with my art style, I guess. So yeah, I start with compiling all the clay colors I am going to use.

---

Condition them by kneading until soft, and when I weigh enough clay, I am going to use using portable weighing scale.

---

And then I assemble them by part so that I can easily work when sculpting them later.

---

So I am going to start at the face, so what I do is I clean the foundation of the face, which is the head. I use alcohol and a Q-tip to clean the dust off.

---

Then I start adding the ears.

---

Next are the eyes. I do dot clay and then press that onto the face.

---

And then I added the eyebrows.

---

And then the nose, what I do is I grab some pink clay and then shape it into a triangle, and then cut it in the middle just like a heart shape, but opposite one, LOL. And then I added the lips too.

---

For the hair, I divided the clay into different parts according to how the hair flows, and then I used the needle tool to smooth the hair.

---

After that, I added the arm and body. What I do is I lay the head into a gum container and assemble it carefully.

---

Then I added the outer clothes and the legs. What I do is I roll the clay into a thin sheet, and then after that I cut it into the size I need. And then I wrap it around the body, and after that, I add the legs.

---

For the peace, I shape the clay into a ball, and then I add a texture using the needle point, and then I add a leaf too, and then color it with soft pastel.

---

After that, I bake it in the oven at the temperature and time specified on the packaging.

---

I first coat the clay with thin UV Resin and then, using a paint brush, I apply it as carefully as possible. After that, I cure it under the UV Lamp until it is not sticky.

---

This is what it looks like after.

---

Now it is time to add the strong viscosity double-sided tape. Be careful because the tape has strong adhesive, make sure to tape it onto a case, not in the literal casing of the phone, because mine peels off LOL.

---

This is what it looks like from the front and the side.

---

Did a little photoshoot!
