Clay Peacock – Step-by-Step Making Process
Materials Needed
-
Air-dry clay / homemade clay / playdough
-
Golden glitter sheet (for peacock body)
-
Clay tools or toothpick (optional)
-
Craft glue
-
Small black bead or clay dot (for the eye)
-
White sheet (background)
Steps to Make the Clay Peacock
1. Prepare the Background
-
Place a white sheet or chart paper on a flat table.
-
This will be the base where your peacock will be arranged.
2. Create the Peacock Body
-
Cut the peacock’s body shape from a gold glitter sheet.
-
Include the head, neck, wings and legs in one piece.
-
Stick the body at the bottom center of the page.
3. Add the Eye
-
Fix a small black bead or a tiny clay ball on the head for the eye.
-
Press gently so it sticks well.
4. Make the Clay Feathers
-
Take clay and roll it into small long strips (like thin ropes).
-
Bend each strip to form a drop-shaped loop or teardrop shape.
-
Pinch the ends so each loop looks neat.
-
Make many such loops of equal size.
5. Arrange the Feathers
-
Start placing clay loops around the glitter body:
-
First row: close to the body
-
Second row: slightly wider
-
Third row: forming a full fan shape
-
-
Ensure all loops point outward like real peacock feathers.
6. Stick and Shape
-
Apply glue under each clay feather to keep them fixed.
-
Adjust the spacing to make the design symmetrical.
-
Press lightly so the feathers hold their shape.
7. Final Touches
-
Check if all clay loops are firmly stuck.
-
Allow the clay to dry completely.
-
Add small clay details if desired (like tiny inner circles on feathers).
