Almost everyone can make a plasticine snail. Those who are engaged in modeling will cope with this task in a matter of minutes. As for those who are only trying their hand at such creativity, they may have some difficulties. This is especially true for young children. After all, it is one thing to see a live snail sitting on a leaf, and quite another to try to recreate it from plasticine. In fact, dazzling her is not so difficult. The main thing is to follow the sequence. So, how to mold a plasticine snail?
Method one
To make a snail out of plasticine, it is necessary to mold the body itself and the shell. To implement the plan, it is worth choosing plasticine. It will take just a few colors. In this case, it is better to use orange and beige plasticine.
In addition, you will need a few toothpicks or matches, as well as material for the eyes. To do this, it is better to use white, blue and black plasticine. Also, to work with the material, you should use oilcloth and special stacks.
Sculpting process
To make a plasticine snail neat and beautiful, it is necessary to thoroughly soften the material. It should be warmed a little, and then knead. It is worth rolling a small ball from orange plasticine, and then a thin and long tourniquet. From it you need to make a shell. To do this, you need to roll a long tourniquet into a spiral. A plasticine snail is almost ready.
The second ball also needs to be rolled up into a tourniquet, but shorter and thicker. This will be the body of a snail. The base of the body must be flattened so that it turns out something like an island with uneven edges. Here you need to put the carapace.
Make eyes
A plasticine snail will look more attractive if you make eyes on it. Do not forget that they are located on small horns. They can be replaced with matches or toothpicks. So, for starters, you should roll the balls from white plasticine. In size, they should resemble large beads. On the obtained blanks you need to attach small balls of dark plasticine. These will be the pupils.
The eyes are ready. It remains to fix them on the body with the help of matches or toothpicks. Plasticine snail is ready.
Second way
There is another way to make a carapace. This will require material of any color. If desired, mix several shades. It is necessary to roll a ball from the material, and then a cone-shaped long bundle. After this, the workpiece must be turned into a spiral resembling a roll, starting from the narrowest end. It will be a carapace.
How to make a plasticine snail? In this case, a few more balls of material are required. One is needed for the body, and the second - for the head. The first piece of plasticine must be rolled up into a small roller and flattened. On one edge of the part you need to install a carapace.
A neat ball should be rolled from the second piece - this will be the head. It also needs to be placed on the workpiece, slightly raising the edge of the body. The snail is almost ready. Now you need to make eyes and horns. They can be made from toothpicks and plasticine.
