Making a baby hamster out of clay is a fun and creative craft activity, and below I will show you how to make a cute baby hamster out of clay.
Material Preparation:
Non-dry clay: Choose a suitable color, such as gray, yellow or white.
Create *** such as clay knives, carving tools, tiny brushes, etc.
Working platform: Plastic board or cardboard can be used to facilitate operation and prevent clay from sticking to the tabletop.
Steps:
Conceive the design
First of all, you can conceive in your mind the shape and posture of the baby hamster you want to make, and you can draw a sketch as a reference.
Make the body
Take a small piece of clay and roll it into a circle as the body of the baby hamster.
Use your fingers or tools to shape the head, limbs, and tail on your body to make it more vivid.
Make the head
Take another small piece of clay and roll it into an oval shape to serve as the head of the baby hamster.
Use tools to carve out details of your eyes, nose, and mouth on your head, and you can make cute expressions by pressing the strip method.
Combination adjustments
Gently glue the head to the body and adjust the details of the joints with the tool to ensure a natural connection between the head and the body.
Adjust the pose and expression of the baby hamster to make it more lifelike.
Production details
Use tools to carve out details such as the texture of baby hamster's hair, the shape of its ears, and more, adding realism and three-dimensionality.
You can add small props according to personal preferences, such as food and toys, to enrich your baby's performance.
Wait to dry
Once the clay is finished, the clay work is placed in a ventilated and dry place and the clay is allowed to dry and cure completely.
The drying time depends on the thickness and humidity of the clay and generally takes 1-2 days.
Decorative coloring

It takes patience and meticulousness to carefully carve every detail in order to make a more perfect work.
With the above steps and precautions, you can use clay to make a lifelike baby hamster, allowing you to have a lot of fun in craft activities and show off your creativity and artistic talent.
