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)
Place a white sheet or chart paper on a flat table.
This will be the base where your peacock will be arranged.
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.
Fix a small black bead or a tiny clay ball on the head for the eye.
Press gently so it sticks well.
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.
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.
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.
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).
Red glitter paper – for the peacock’s body
Green colored threads – for the feathers
Colored silk cloth – for the petals
Pearl – for the peacock’s eye
Yellow chart paper – for the background
Glue
Take a yellow chart paper as the base.
Smooth out any folds or wrinkles so the background looks neat.
Cut out the peacock’s body shape from red glitter paper.
Ensure the shape includes the head, neck, and body in one piece.
Stick a small pearl on the head to represent the eye.
Cut small leaf-shaped pieces from the colorful silk cloth.
These will form the decorative parts of the feathers.
Arrange the green thread pieces in curved lines to form each feather shaft.
Glue the cloth leaf shapes at the ends and sides of the thread pieces.
Start from the center and arrange feathers in layers:
First row: place a few feathers close together behind the body.
Second row: add more feathers spreading outward.
Outer layer: arrange the longest feathers to form a full fan shape.
Adjust the spacing so the feathers look even and symmetrical.
Glue them firmly in place.
Once the feathers are fixed and dry:
Place the red glitter body at the center bottom of the feather arrangement.
Glue it neatly so the feathers appear to fan out from behind the body.
Press everything gently to make sure all pieces stick properly.
Let the craft dry completely.
Add your signature or any decorative borders if you like.
