Cut two bars of Bay (leather effect) n°229 dough to form a smooth ball without folds.
Pinch the side of your ball and roll it into a cone. Then cut the two ends. The skirt is now made! Form stripes at the bottom(more or less pronounced) to give it a nicer shape.
Form a small white ball, following the same technique above (form a cone and cut the two ends). The top of the body is done. Come and put it on the skirt.
Making the jacket: Blackdough n°9. Form a small ball and flatten it, with the roller, to form a rectangle. Cut well the contours so that the shape is straight.
Put the jacket (black rectangle) on the back of the white top, and make it come back on the front. Cut the excess material so that the sides do not meet.
Make two thin equal strands for the arms, and place them on each side of the body. Make small holes in the sleeves to insert the little hands (ballsmade with the pale pink dough No. 43).
Making the legs: Make two thin strands long enough. Assemble them and cut the length of the legs in the height. Then insert them under the skirt.
Put anail in the top to insert the head.
Making the head: Cut a bar of pale pink Fimo and form a smooth ball. If you want a smaller head, remove some material. Insert the head into the rod.
Form the eye mark, gently, with your pinkie.
Make two holes with a dootingtool. Then fill the holes with white clay.
Form two small blue pellets n°33 and put one in each eye. Then place a small black marble on each blue tablet and flatten it with your round tip.
Place a dot of white acrylic paint to form the eyes. Then place a small black bar above the eyelid. To draw the eyelashes, make three small thin rods that you will place on the side of the eyes.
Make a thin red pudding n°28 and form the smile. Place it in the centre of the face.
To finalize the face, make thin eyebrows, caramel color n°7.
Make a ball of chocolate dough n°75 to make the hair. Form a cone and flatten it. The material should cover the entire back of the head. Form stripes to give a realistic effect.
Fill in the entire contour of the face with strands of hair. Make long bunches of hair of varying thicknesses.
Place your figurine in the oven for 30 minutes at 110°C. Once baked, put sequins on the skirt and make black polka dots (acrylic paint) on the shirt.
