For work we need:
-polymer clay,
- extruder
- pasta machine (or rolling pin)
- heart cutter
- knife for polymer clay
- sculpting tools
-glitters
- beads or small beads

First we will sculpt the head.
To do this, soften the flesh-colored polymer clay and form a ball. As you can see in the photo, I used the accumulated remains of clay. Of these, I formed a small ball and wrapped in a layer of flesh-colored clay. This method allows you to get rid of the remains and, accordingly, reduce the cost of new clay when sculpting the head and torso.
But be careful! Make sure that the skin color layer is thick enough so that the color wrapped in it does not show through.

Also, at the beginning, choose beads for the eyes and try on the ratio of their size to the head.

Using a sculpting tool, we make a notch and smooth out sharp protrusions.


From a small ball we form a neck and attach it to the head, smoothing it with a tool.


Add volume to the cheeks.

Now we attach the ears, nose and eyes (beads)


We sculpt the body.
If desired, we hide the remains of clay or a piece of foil inside :)


We form and attach the legs and arms.


To connect the head to the body, we need half a pin. This will make our little angel stronger and more stable.

The funniest thing is the hair.
They give the angel uniqueness and charm. Soften the yellow extruder clay very well.


Now we squeeze out the "hair",


and cutting them, we fix them on the head.

We give the handles the desired position :)

Powder gives a shade to the cheeks

With a boat, in the shape of a heart, we squeeze out future wings. You can take clay with a neon effect or translucent.
Lubricate with liquid plastic and apply glitter with a brush. We attach the wings to the body of the angel.


Here comes the angel!

If you are in a turmoil, you can not come to the final choice of a gift for Christmas, calm down. Make your own polymer clay angel. Lighter and prettier than you can imagine. It will delight your family and friends, decorate the interior and the table for this wonderful holiday. Use the step by step instructions with photos detailed below. You will not regret the time spent, and it will not take too much! It's worth it!

To work you need:

• Polymer clay (bake): pink, white, yellow, green, brown, dark pink
• toothpicks
• Stationery knife
• Work surface (glass, paper or ceramic tile)
• Wet wipes
• Lacquer Fimo (or any other special varnish for polymer clay)
• wooden pot
• acrylic paints (gouache)
• stencils (you can do without them)
• brushes
• Styrofoam
• sackcloth
• tow (you can take flax, straw, bast or any material of a similar type)
• threads
• scissors
• glue Moment

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Let's prepare our pot. You can take already with a certain ornament and patterns, any of your choice. Or, when working, do not use stencils, but completely rely on your ability to be creative. We used stencils in the form of a heart, stripes with leaves. We circle carefully with paints in certain places (hearts on the base, stripes with leaves on the border). For these actions, we take brushes of different sizes (thick for the base, thinner to create the volume of the figure).
   
2. To make the hearts look voluminous, we apply darker shades on the light main tone with a fine-sized brush on the side of the figure. We did the same actions with the stripes on the edging of the pot.
   

You can use paints of any colors to your taste, ornaments that are more to your liking, embody all your creativity on this pot.

3. After we have finished decorating the pot, we move on to the angel. We take and cut out a cone from a foam plastic with a clerical knife. Then we begin to knead the pink polymer clay, after it has become soft, we roll out a canvas about 0.5 cm wide from it and carefully cover our foam plastic completely, the bottom can not be covered with clay.
4. Fill the pot tightly with tow, you can use other similar material. Topped with red petals. Insert a toothpick into the bottom of the cone, then set the figure in the pot so that it stands firmly in an upright position.
5. Now we will fashion the remaining parts for the body of an angel from clay. When moving to the next color, be sure to thoroughly rub your hands with wet wipes or wash with soap and water. Since clay gets dirty very easily, it attaches dust and all other foreign bodies to itself. We start all blanks with the manufacture of a ball (knead the clay until it becomes soft and elastic, and then we sculpt blanks from the resulting ball). We give the brown ball an oval shape, flatten it and use a toothpick or a special knife to separate the upper part (higher than half of the figure).
6. Then we make a small strip from a green ball, flatten it to a width of about 0.2 cm and divide it into 3 parts. Using a toothpick, carefully separate the leaf shape and paint the veins.
7. From white clay we also roll up a strip (longer than green), divide it into 12 small parts, flatten each segment. Using a toothpick, we will make a leaf shape on all 12 segments.
8. We roll yellow clay in the form of 3 small balls.
9. We create daisies. We attach three white leaves neatly to each other, then on top of the middle of the yellow circle.
10. First we place green leaves in our brown basket (see photo below), then daisies on them.
11. From a pink ball we create hands. We divide it into two parts and roll the strip wider on one side, tapering to the opposite edge. We bend the resulting figure in the middle (about 45 degrees) and draw two stripes on the fold with a toothpick.
12. We divide the white small ball into two parts, flatten it to a width of 0.5 cm and cut out the shape of the handle.
    
13. Now we will attach our blanks to the body (see photo below). This must be done carefully.
14. Let's start making the head of an angel. Cut out a circle of foam with a clerical knife. Insert a toothpick into the foam. Then we cover everything with beige clay (before that it needs to be rolled out). A little toothpick should also be wrapped in clay, this will be the neck.
15. From brown clay we roll a ball, then we roll it out to a width of 0.3 cm and cover the upper half of the head. After that, with a toothpick, draw stripes around the entire perimeter of the brown clay.
    
16. From the same brown clay, roll up one large strip and divide it into 4 parts (these will be braids). The strips need to be folded in waves, painted along the strip with a toothpick.
17. From dark pink clay we make one thin strip, fasten it to the head (above), reaching the end of the brown hair. From two small balls we make hearts (flatten the balls and cut out the desired shape with a toothpick).
18. From pink clay we blind one small strip, draw a couple of strips across it.
19. Now we fix all the received blanks. Set the head on a toothpick tightly to the body. Then we will install a collar from pink clay to the neck, if necessary, cut off the excess. Hearts will appear near the attached dark pink strip on the sides, the braids will bloom to the arms (see photo below).
20. We make wings from burlap. Cut out 4 larger ovals, 4 smaller ones. Cut off the edges of them. Sew on 2 wings of the same size. We blind 4 hearts from brown clay (we told how to make them above).
21. Now with a toothpick we draw eyes on our face. To do this, we moisten the edge of the toothpick in brown paint, or carefully in clay and paint it with a thin layer. You will also need white color (see picture below).
22. Now we need to stick our angel out of the pot and bake in the oven. To do this, see the instructions that should be on the packaging of clay. For example, if you use Fimo clay, then you need to bake the craft in the oven for 20 minutes at a temperature not exceeding 100 degrees. Don't forget about the 4 hearts that are not yet attached, they also need to be sent to the oven.
23. After sticking out the figure, wait until it cools down and cover it with varnish (it is better to take a special varnish for polymer). After the varnish has dried, we insert our angel back into the pot.
24. We finish the image. Using Moment glue, glue a heart to each wing, the wings to the back of the figure.

Our beautiful angel is ready! It will decorate your interior, table, please your family and friends. There can be no cuter gift for Christmas! Give people a smile and positive emotions!

You need to make two small balls of the same flesh color and flatten them in the same way - after all, the angel must have handles!

At this point, it's time to get out the brown polymer clay - we need it in order for the angel to get a beautiful hairstyle. If you like red angels or brunette angels, feel free to change the color to the one you like best. From this clay you need to roll up thin "sausages", literally 5-6 pieces - and decorate the head of an angel.

So it came to yellow clay - we will need it for the halo, without which the angel does not feel very confident. The same thin "sausage" is placed over the hair - and now the figure is more and more reminiscent of one of the main symbols of Christmas. Form wings from white clay - you can represent them as a large comma, so it will be easier to give the desired shape.

We will make the nose from the remnants of flesh-colored material, and the eyes from tiny white rounds. The pupils can be made brown - the color of the hair. In place of the mouth, we will make a small indentation - you can use a hairpin or pin. An additional interesting touch will be glasses - they are easy to make from a piece of wire, fixing the arms in the hair. If there is yellow polymer clay left, you can make a Bible - so that our angel's hands do not remain empty. So we're done!

As you can see, it took quite a bit of time, effort and materials to make a wonderful Christmas present with your own hands - this cute polymer clay angel. Now it will delight people close to you, and you can be proud that you made it yourself, with the help of just this master class!
