1. First, mix light green, white, dark green and pink clay together and roll it into thin slices with clay tools. Then take a square MDF, brush it with a layer of white latex and spread it evenly, cover and paste the rolled mud, and then cut off the excess with a knife. Continue to knead the flesh-colored mud into a circle and stick it on, then knead a mass of flesh-colored mud into a circle to make a head, and press out the eye socket with a tool.
2. Then make facial features, color and highlight the eyes. Then mix the dark blue and blue clay, roll it thin and fold it, roll it thin and repeat it several times after folding, then draw a pattern, fold it out, cut off the excess parts and make a gradient skirt. Continue to use an orange clay as your coat and black clay as your hair. Pad the hair height first, then braid it and stick it symmetrically.
3. Then make two small flowers with orange mud and stick them under the braid, and then make two sleeves and stick them on. Then make two hands out of flesh-colored clay and stick them in appropriate positions in the sleeves. Finally, make a lovely rattle and put it in your hand, and the ancient fairy made of clay will be finished.
Homemade clay
1. Barrel soil containing clay minerals. Find a place near running water, where sand and clay have separated, or dig down until white, gray or red clay appears. Dig out the clay by hand or shovel and put it in a big bucket.
2. Remove branches and impurities mixed into the soil. Screen clay and soil by hand to remove stones, branches, leaves and other impurities. Turn over the clay and find out the more impurities, the better. Throw away all impurities found. Add enough water until there is no clay. Add water to the clay with a hose or bucket. Then mix the water into the clay by hand or shovel. Stir constantly until the water becomes turbid.
3. Let it stand for 2 minutes until the impurities sink. Set a timer and wait for 2 minutes until the impurities sink. Clay will always float on the water. Pour turbid water into another bucket, leaving impurities in the first bucket. Tilt the bucket carefully and let the mud water flow into the clean bucket. Pour the water slowly, and don't let impurities flow into the second bucket. When the impurities at the bottom of the barrel begin to appear, stop.
4. Impurities can be easily collected with a filter screen. Pour out the impurities and rinse the bucket clean. Dump the impurities in the first bucket on the ground or in the trash can. Then flush the bucket with a hose or faucet. There is no need to wash the bucket with soap. The next step is just to wash the clay with it again.
5. Repeat the above process until there are no impurities in the clay water. Continue to add water and let the impurities sink to the bottom until the clay is basically free of impurities. Put your hand into the clay and turn it over to see if it has been cleaned. It may need to be repeated at least 2-3 times to clean the clay.
6. Let the bucket filled with clay water stand overnight and dry. The clay is very thin at this time. Put the bucket where it won't be disturbed, and don't cover it. Let it stand for at least 8 hours to allow the water to evaporate. Dump the excess water on the clay. Let the clay air dry for at least 8 hours, and you will see a thin layer of water on the surface.
7. Gently tilt the bucket and pour out the water. At this time, you should see a huge clay mixture. Pour a large piece of clay mixture on a cloth and let it air dry for 2 days. Lay a large piece of cloth flat on the ground, such as an old T-shirt. Then pour the clay mixture on the cloth and try not to lose any clay. Wrap the clay in cloth quickly, hang it outdoors, and let the water drip down the cloth.
8. Leave the clay in the outdoor sunshine until it reaches the consistency you want. Open the cloth and spread the clay evenly on the ground. Spread the clay evenly on the cloth by hand so that they can be exposed to the sun evenly. Check the clay 1 every 6-8 hours during the day to see if it can be used to make pottery. It takes about 1 day to achieve ideal consistency. Once the viscosity is satisfactory, clay can be used to make pottery immediately.
