Each of us is familiar with a butterfly. This cute insect impresses with its lightness, beauty and grace. Therefore, some seek to ensure that such a charming creature, like a plasticine butterfly, delights us, even in crafts.
Some recommendations
We will tell you how to make a butterfly out of plasticine. All you need is plasticine of various bright colors, a plastic knife-stack and a spool of thread. In order for the plasticine butterfly to harden, the craft can be placed for a while in a cold place. If clay does not stick well, the use of a thin wire for bonding will fix the problem. Put some inspiration and imagination, and you will get a beautiful multi-colored butterfly.
Creating a plasticine butterfly
For the foundation you will need to create three details, a round head, an oval body and a long tail of a “flying” beauty. Next, you need to connect together all the parts of our butterfly, smoothing the seams well.
After that, using the stacks, you can make longitudinal cuts on the tail. Next, you need to roll round eyes, long antennae, and mouth, if desired, from plasticine. Then stick the parts to the head of the butterfly. You can twist the antennae slightly in the form of a spiral, so they will look more natural.
So, let's proceed to the wings of our butterfly. Take plasticine of your choice of color and blind two pairs of wings, upper and lower. To do this, roll up four balls and fashion the wings of the desired shape. We will attach the finished wings to the body of the butterfly. In addition, you can give the wings a slightly curved shape. As a result, you will get a beautiful plasticine butterfly with bright and original wings.
Butterfly Wings Variations
Interestingly, a plasticine butterfly can be improved with interesting and beautiful wings. You just need to take several colors of plasticine, roll them into balls and spread them into flat circles.
Put each layer on top of each other, the resulting "cake" of multi-colored plasticine, roll in half. Squeeze a little, then use a thread to cut into four longitudinal parts. Press each part down to shape our wings. Now we attach the finished wings to the body.
There is another option, how to mold a butterfly from plasticine with a unique and interesting pattern. In the manufacture of wings, it is necessary to choose several compatible shades. You will need approximately one third of the selected bar. Roll up a couple of balls about three centimeters in diameter.
Then we take one ball and divide into seven identical parts. We roll each of them into something similar to a sausage. The second roller, also divided into seven, but already balls. In addition, each ball must be flattened into a cake. Then it is necessary to wrap each sausage in a crushed layer. Next, we collect all the blanks together. Again, take a piece of plasticine, roll out a large cake and wrap our billet. Slightly rolling, we give our workpiece a drop-shaped form. Cut off the excess, cut four plates and flatten them.
Thus, wings with a beautiful and unique pattern are obtained. It remains only to attach the wings to the body, and our butterfly is ready. Using this technique, you can combine any shades and create a wide variety of patterns of wings.
Decoration
You can decorate a butterfly at will, whether it be spots, stripes, curls or asymmetric patterns.
This will help make our butterfly more expressive and memorable. Use the stack and apply all kinds of patterns or draw a texture.
Doing your favorite thing distracts from the bustle and gloomy mood. And the craft you created will “breathe” a rainbow-colored mood into you and dispel fleeting sorrow.
