Pull the thread by pressing your finger into the eye area and repeat the tightening several times. Make the same tightening with the other eye, tie the thread, do not cut it, bring it out in t. 1. Make tightening between the left and right eyes (thread inside the canvas, repeat several times), slightly pulling the thread. Repeat 2-3 times. Pull up the thread, bring it into the open hole at the back of the head, tie the thread and hide it inside the head.

Back up the body. Prepare the wire frame. Take a wire about 30 cm long and fold it in half. Wrap the end with electrical tape. This will serve as the spine, then we will attach the frame to it from the front and hind legs. For the front and hind legs, take a segment of about 25-30 cm. Wrap the part that will be inside the leg with electrical tape. Then we don’t stuff our legs. Wrap the leg frame around the spine. Fix the junction with electrical tape or adhesive tape.

Insert structure. The very end should reach the very neck and serve as a frame for it.

Polymer clay horns.

Make a frame for the horns (see photo). Knead flesh-colored or brown plastic. And focusing on the photo to mold the horns. It is good to smooth out the seams between the parts with your fingers or a stack. Make a texture on the horns with the tip of the needle. Tinted horns with brown pastel if there was a flesh-colored plastic. Bake according to the instructions. Find a place for the horns, make holes with an awl, insert the frame and glue.

Hooves

For sculpting hooves, it is better to take plastic of the same color as for sculpting the nose and horns. Roll 4 identical balls, flatten them by pressing them against the table, make an incision in the middle with a blade or a stack. Pierce the top to the middle of the hoof with the wire that will be in the leg. Better to cut off small wires and bake with them. After baking, remove them and glue them to the legs. Finished flesh plastics hooves can be tinted with brown pastels prior to baking. Tinted in the same way as the nose. Comb the legs in advance, trim a little, then glue the hooves.

Find a place for the ears, pin and sew. Comb the sewing area to smooth the transition. Inside the ear, tint with brown pastel.

Find a place for the tail, pin and sew. The ponytail can be sewn up or down. Comb the sewing area to smooth the transition.

Pin the white breast pad, referring to the photo. Sew on and comb again to smooth the sewing area.

Glue the eyes in place of the dips. I have 7-8 mm plastic half-beads. Circle

neatly around the eye with a thin black marker or black capillary pen.

Sew the white under the eye or roll on a small piece of carding.

Gently draw with a thin brush with pastel the lines of the mouth tightening. Stick on the nose.

Tint the area around the nose with dark brown pastels.

For toning the body, use dry soft pastels. Rub it and paint over the face and body with a brush, be sure to comb it with a brush so that the villi are painted over to the very base. After toning the body, draw randomly white spots. After finishing toning, fix it with a strong hold hairspray. Spray on the toy from a distance of at least 30 cm.

Wipe the eyes from the varnish with a damp cotton swab.

That’s all !

The Deer is ready!
