How to Make a 3D Clay Crawfish Model

Get a burgundy color of clay. This will be the color of the body and head.

Start by making a blob of clay about the size of the palm of your hand.

Start to add to the clay, making more of the body. Try not to make the crayfish any longer than it is.

Add a medium sized circle for the head. Start to mold the head in a bit of a cone, but try to flatten the tip of the head a bit.

Roll a piece of clay between your hands until it looks like a really small snake. Cut the piece in half.

Stick the two small snakes to the crayfish's nose so he has an antenna

Get two very small pieces of black clay and add them for the eyes.

Start by making the legs. You will need 2 pairs of 3 legs, 3 on each side of the lobster cousin. Make the small snake just a little smaller or bigger than your middle finger. Then about a quarter down the leg, bend it so it looks like the crayfish is actually walking on something. Once you've done this, repeat this step 5 more times.

Add the tail at the end of his body. If you aren't sure what the tail looks like, look up lobster or crayfish on Google images to get a good idea to make your model more realistic.

Make two large blobs of clay for claws. Thin out the bottom for the start of the claws. Take out a piece from the clay claw so that one side of the claw is smaller than the other side.

Finished.
