How to make a Steampunk Mr. Potato Head

Step 4 Use Premo Sculpey oven-bake clay for detail work

For parts of Mr. Potato Head that I couldn't make from card stock or household items, I sculpted out of Premo. Here is a picture of the mustache and several different eye pieces. I placed them on a baking sheet and threw them in the oven.

You can find Sculpey at art supply stores, such as Blick. I bought 1lb of Premo Sculpey, but I only ended up using half of it. After you are done sculpting, set the oven to 275 °F. Place your clay on a baking sheet in the oven. The package suggest baking your clay 30 min per 66mm (1/4").

How I made:

Guns:
Plastic soap dispenser piece and Premo.

Rivets:
I made rivets out of Premo and glued them on with superglue.

Mustache:
Sculpt mustache with your fingers. Use a toothpick or a sculpting tool to add texture.

Monocle:
Cut a perfect circle with a cookie cutter or a measuring cup. This will be your monocle. Take a smaller cookie cutter or cup, place in the center, and gently push down to create the illusion of a eyeglass frame. Next, make a rectangular piece that is the same thickness as your monocle. Attach it to your the eyeglass piece and cut out the middle. I also added a chain to the monocle.
