This piece was DLi$h's first attempt at working with sculpey on his toys. Looking for a new way to manipulate the custom toy 3D medium, the KidRobot Munny provided the ideal platform to make a dry run at it. This tutorial will cover some of the basic procedures with sculpting onto vinyl so that you can work on your toy designs in 3D.

1. Toy Design: On this particular design, DLi$h wanted to remove the face to make an enormous mouth. That was the only feature that was for sure going to be part of this toy&for now.
2. Get your grind on: To remove the vinyl that resides where the mouth should be, DLi$h used a Dremel with a router bit to carve the mouth out. Once the vinyl was removed, he finished it with a sanding bit to get all the excess shavings off.
3. Sculpey Time: DLi$h took a big chunk of Sculpey and then stretched it out to make an oval disk. He then rammed the disk into the Munny's mouth and formed it so that it wrapped around the eges of the toy to create lips. Once the lips were in place, he sealed the edges of lips to form a nice tight vacuum fit on the toy. That's one of the coolest things about Super Sculpey; It doesn't require any kind of adhesive. it basically holds to the toy by itself. Be sure to seal the edges of the Sculpey onto the toy so that the Sculpey has lots of surface area on the actual vinyl. It should almost create a suction to the toy surface.
