How to Make DIY Clay Dolls at Home

If you are looking for a fun and creative outdoor creative project, DIY clay dolls might be the activity for you! Making your own clay dolls is a great way to express yourself and express your love for art and design. With a few simple steps and a few basic materials, you can make your very own clay dolls from the comfort of your home.

Materials

  • Air-dry clay
  • Acrylic paint
  • Paint brushes
  • Rolling pin
  • Modeling tools
  • Craft eyes or buttons
  • Pencil
  • Cookie cutters (optional)

Instructions

  1. Roll out your air-dry clay with a rolling pin. You can experiment with different thicknesses, anywhere from 1/8” to 1/4”. Ensure that your clay is even in thickness.
  2. Cut shapes from your clay using a cookie cutter or a butter knife. Alternatively, use a pencil to sketch out the profile of your doll before cutting it out.
  3. Attach the body, legs, and arms of your dolls to each other using a little bit of water. This will act as glue, and the pieces will stick together.
  4. Next, use modeling tools to create facial features, clothes, and hair for your doll. Use small detailing tools for finer details.
  5. Add accessories and eyes to the dolls. Craft eyes can be glued directly onto the clay, or you can add buttons for eyes as well.
  6. Paint your dolls using acrylic paint, if desired. Allow the paint to dry and then you are done!
