⸻
✅ What You’ll Need:
• Jenna Air Dry Clay – Yellow, Orange, White, and Black
• Sculpting tool or toothpick
• Glue (optional)
• Clean hands and workspace
⸻
🟡 Step 1: Roll a Yellow Ball
Take a chunk of yellow clay and roll it into a smooth sphere. This will be the main body of your duck.
⸻
🟡 Step 2: Shape into an Egg
Gently roll the ball back and forth using your palms to form an oval/egg shape. This gives your duck a more natural body structure.
⸻
🟡 Step 3: Flatten the Bottom
Lightly press the bottom part of the body on a flat surface to help the duck stand on its own. This stabilizes the sculpture.
⸻
🟡 Step 4: Create the Head
Roll a smaller yellow ball for the duck’s head. It should be about half the size of the body. Keep it smooth and round.
⸻
🟡 Step 5: Attach the Head
Place the head on top of the body and gently press down to join them. Blend the seam softly using your fingers or a tool.
⸻
🟠 Step 6: Make the Beak
Use orange clay to roll a small oval. Flatten slightly and pinch the center to form a cute duck beak.
⸻
🟠 Step 7: Attach the Beak
Place the beak on the front center of the head. Use light pressure to stick it, and add a bit of glue if needed.
⸻
⚫ Step 8: Add Eyes
Roll two tiny balls of black clay and press them above the beak to form eyes. For extra detail, add tiny white dots on the black to mimic eye highlights.
⸻
🟡 Step 9: Make the Wings
Roll out two small yellow balls, flatten them into teardrop shapes, and curve them slightly. These will be the duck’s wings.
⸻
🟡 Step 10: Attach the Wings
Fix the wings on either side of the duck’s body. You can position them as flapping or folded.
⸻
🟠 Step 11: Create the Feet
Roll two small orange balls, flatten them, and shape into webbed feet using a sculpting tool or toothpick.
⸻
🟠 Step 12: Stick the Feet
Attach the feet to the flattened bottom of the duck. Make sure your duck stands properly by balancing the feet evenly.
⸻
🟡 Step 13: Add Final Details
Smooth out any seams using your fingers or a small brush dipped in water. This gives a clean and professional look.
⸻
🕒 Step 14: Let It Dry
Leave your duck in a dry, dust-free area to cure for 24 hours. No baking required – Jenna Air Dry Clay hardens naturally!
