If you have ever sculpted a little from plasticine, then you can easily learn how to sculpt from polymer clay.The difference in sculpting is that clay is not as viscous as plasticine, it is very hard and requires effort to knead, and in the end, after sculpting, the product must either be baked or welded so that the plastic hardens and the product holds its shape. We will try.
We take sheep for sculpting:
Plastic of four colors: black, soft pink, flesh-beige and white, we take warmer shades, sticks 8-9 cm long and 10 mm in diameter;
Board for plasticine;
Knife and stick for working with plastic;
Cooking container (an old saucepan that is not used for food purposes);
Decoupage varnish and brush to add brightness to the product.

Let's start with the body of the sheep. Cut off about 2 cm of body clay and begin to knead until completely softened. We kneaded it and sculpted an oval for the body, flattening it a little. Cut off about another 1 cm from the flesh sausage and knead and roll into a circle for the head.

We attach the head to the body. We press well.

We cut off 4 more pieces of 1 cm, knead each one and shape it into barrels for the sheep’s legs. We attach the legs to the body.

We make ears from two more pieces, attach them to the head and round them to the top. We make a bow from pink clay and attach it to the head.

We roll two small circles of 5 mm in diameter from white clay and two circles from black clay, 2 mm in diameter. We press the black circles to the white ones, we get eyes that we attach to the head. We attach another small pink bow under the head on the body. We draw a smile on the face with a knife.

Now we roll 4-5 mm balls from white clay and attach them to the body. This will be a sheep's coat. The modeling is finished. Boil water in the prepared pan, throw the lamb into the boiling water and cook for 12-15 minutes. Remove, cool and coat with varnish to add color.

Let it dry and the gift sheep is ready! If you want to make a keychain, then before cooking it, make a metal loop, insert it into the sheep and cook it together with the loop, and only then you can put the blank under the keychain.
