How to Make a Cute winter doll

Step 1: Prepare Your Clay

Take your air dry clay pack and soften the clay until it is smooth and ready for sculpting.

Step 2: Make the Head

Roll a round ball for the head.
Use a detailing tool to gently mark the placement of the eyes.

Step 3: Add Hair & Face Details

Create small thin strands of clay for the hair.
Place them one by one and smooth the edges.
Add eyebrows, nose, and blush to complete the cute face.

Step 4: Shape the Jacket

Flatten a piece of red clay and cut out the base shape of the winter jacket.

Step 5: Add Jacket Details

Create puffy jacket segments using small strips.
Attach sleeves on each side.

Step 6: Attach the Boots

Make two small boot shapes and fix them under the jacket — this becomes the full body.

Step 7: Attach the Head

Place the finished head gently onto the body and secure it.

Step 8: Add the Scarf

Use textured white clay, roll it, and wrap it around the neck like a warm winter scarf.

Step 9: Add the Hat Base

Create a dome-shaped hat and place it on top of the head.

Step 10: Adjust & Fit the Hat

Press the hat softly so it fits neatly, following the shape of the head.

Step 11: Add the Pom-Pom

Make a tiny white ball and attach it to the top of the hat for a cute finishing touch.

Step 12: Final Shaping

Smoothen any uneven parts, refine details, and your Jenna Clays winter doll is ready!
