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:

Glass Sheet
Polymer Clay
Portable Weighing Scale
Alcohol
Qtip
Gum Container
Clay Tool
Xacto Knife
Silicone Mat

Oven
UV Resin
UV Lamp
Disposable Gloves
Mask
Eye Shield
Brush
Soft Pastel
Strong Viscosity Double Sided Tape

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.
