MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED:
Detailed instructions:
Step 1: Have your measuring guide ready
For this tutorial you will need the measuring guide that I use in all my tutorials. It will help you not only with proportions but also to get the eyeball shape just right.
If you don’t have one you can get one here in my shop.
Start with the pupil using some black clay and press it into the large mold. I used 15mm for the pupil and 22mm for the iris measured with the sizing guide.
Make sure to flatten the pupil and iris well before you add the white of the eyeball.
Next add the white foam, clay and press it firmly into the same mold. make sure your iris and pupil have not moved before you press the white clay into it. Remove the excess.
Use a piece of white clay to help plop the eyeball out of the mold and then cut of the overhang. Smooth out the edges.
Step 2: Add sparkle to the eyes
Add some white acrylic paint to the iris and give the eyeballs some sparkle. You can use a dotting tool or the tip of a paint brush.
Do this process to make any size of eyeballs and use them in your creations.
Tips for creativity:
They can be glued on with gorilla glue. You can seal them with makers magic or mod podge. Use different colors for the iris or add glitter.
Can’t wait to see what you make with them!
