Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these steps to create your own Baby Groot in a plant pot:
Start by conditioning the brown polymer clay. Roll it into a ball, and shape it into the body of Baby Groot. Use a sculpting tool to create the texture of the bark.
Make the head of Baby Groot by conditioning the brown polymer clay and shaping it into a ball. Press it down to create a flat surface where the eyes and nose will be.
Create the eyes by taking small balls of black polymer clay and pressing them onto the head. Use the sculpting tool to create the shape of the eyes and to add the eyebrows.
Create the nose by rolling a small piece of green polymer clay into a ball, and then flattening it into a teardrop shape. Attach it to the head, and use the sculpting tool to add the nostrils.
Make the arms and hands by rolling thin cylinders of brown polymer clay. Flatten one end of each cylinder to create a hand, and use the sculpting tool to add the fingers.
Create the feet by rolling two small balls of brown polymer clay, and then flattening them into ovals. Add texture to the bottom of each foot with the sculpting tool.
Attach the head, arms, and feet to the body of Baby Groot. Use the sculpting tool to create the shape of the shoulders and hips, and to blend the clay so that the body parts look seamless.
Bake the clay in the oven according to the instructions on the package. Allow the clay to cool completely.
Paint Baby Groot with brown and green paint, following the patterns on the movie character. Allow the paint to dry.
Finally, glue Baby Groot’s feet to the bottom of the plant pot. Make sure that he is securely attached.
Conclusion
Making your own Baby Groot in a plant pot is a fun and creative way to show your love for the character. With just a few materials and some effort, you can have your very own Baby Groot that will brighten up any room.
