Pete "R." Rabbit
First Print out BASIC INSTRUCTION
page. Now proceed with instructions for making Pete.
To make a rabbit just like this one, you will need
white, blue, pink and green polymer clay.
Make all pieces before putting rabbit together. Be sure
the arms are equal size, legs, etc. Colored clay will color your hands, so make all of the
white pieces first.
The drawing is shown near actual size to help you form
the parts correctly.
Put cheeks and nose on the head. Attach the head to the
body with a 1/2" long piece of toothpick. Next take a ball point pen in closed
position and poke 2 holes in the bottom of the body about 1/4" deep for the legs.
Pinch the top of the pants legs to a small point, so they will fit into the holes made in
the body. Connect them firmly into the body. Next, poke 2 holes in the upper sides of the
body for the arms. Push the arms snuggly into the holes and let arms rest against the
body.
Use a toothpick to make indentions in the paws. Press
bow tie on at neck, carefully, but firm enough that it won't fall off after baking.
Now poke 2 holes in top of head for ears. We have one
ear up and one down, but you may place them both up or both down if you want. Attatch ears
now.
Attach feet to legs by inserting a whole toothpick up
into each leg, leaving about a 1/4" out to put into the feet. The toothpick will help
to strengthen the legs. Don't forget his cotton tail. Use a toothpick to fluff it up and
attach it to back of body with a small piece of toothpick.
Check all your parts to be sure he is ready to bake.
Follow directions from Basic Instruction page, and don't forget to prop him up while
baking.
When Pete is baked and cooled, you can take a toothpick
dipped in Black Acrylic paint and dot his eyes.
I hope you enjoy Pete. Now try to make Pete a friend
with your new skills. Look at pictures and make different style clothes.
Be sure and tell your friends if you enjoyed working
with polymer clay and have fun sculpting together!
