Giant Hotdog Claymation Animation Funny!
Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Claymation Puppet
1. Gather Materials:
- Barbie doll (for the body)
- Clay (for the head and hair)
- Wire (for neck support)
- Glue gun and glue sticks
- Glass eyes (from Amazon)
- Barbie clothes (hoodie and jeans)
- Sneakers (from arts and craft stores)
- Charm (for ear piercing jewelry)
- Polymer clay (for hot dogs)
2. Prepare the Barbie Doll:
- Remove the original Barbie head. Set it aside or discard it.
- Ensure the neck is hollow and ready for the new head attachment.
3. Sculpt the Head:
- Using clay, sculpt a head that fits proportionally to the Barbie doll’s body.
- Form the facial features, leaving spaces for the glass eyes.
- Let the clay head dry or harden if needed (depends on the type of clay used).
4. Attach the Head:
- Insert a piece of wire into the neck hole of the Barbie doll to act as support for the new head.
- Use a glue gun to secure the wire inside the neck hole.
- Attach the sculpted clay head to the wire and neck, ensuring it is firmly in place.
5. Add Eyes and Hair:
- Insert the glass eyes into the eye sockets on the clay head.
- Use twisted clay (plasticine clay) to create the hair and attach it to the head.
6. Dress the Puppet:
- Put the Barbie clothes (hoodie and jeans) on the puppet.
- Add the sneakers from the arts and craft stores.
7. Add Jewelry:
- Attach a small charm to the ear to create the ear-piercing jewelry effect.
8. Make Hot Dogs:
- Sculpt hot dogs from polymer clay.
- Bake or cure the polymer clay according to the manufacturer’s instructions to harden them.
9. Final Touches:
- Ensure all parts are securely attached and make any final adjustments needed.
10. Animate:
