A Football and Trophy Play-Doh Models

In this workshop, we will show you how easy it is to make a Football or Rugby ball and Trophy.

Equipment used

• Plasticine or brown Play-Doh
• White plasticine Play-Doh
• Plasticine or yellow Play-Doh
• Plasticine or pink Play-Doh
• Black plasticine or Play-Doh
• "My first kit" Play-Doh (roll, knife)

You can of course use other colors.

The clay football

1. With brown dough, make a ball and then flattened it slightly on the sides by rolling to give it an oval shape.
2. With the knife, draw a slight notch all around the ball in the direction lengthwise.
3. Trace also two other slots on the sides of the ball, perpendicular to the first.
4. With white modeling clay, make a thin strap: you can either cut from a thin layer of dough (as in the video) or flatten it by rolling it on the table.
5. Your strap wraps around the last couple of notches you made on the ball. Cut the strap if it is too long.
6. Make another small strap and place it between the first two in the direction of the ball: it represents the stitching found on the real footballs.
7. Place 3 small strips perpendicular to the last.
8. Flattened everything beyond to give your ball a perfect shape.
9. You can make a small support to hold your ball (as we did in the video).

Plasticine Trophy

1. With yellow plasticine, manufacture two cones: small (the base of the cup) and the top of the cup.
2. The top is a bit larger of a cone.
3. Place the large cone on the small one: your cup begins to take shape.
4. For the decoration of the cup, make a strap with pink clay that covers the junction between the two cones.
5. Then roll a multitude of tiny pink balls and place them over the entire surface of the trophy: they are like real diamonds while doing this very gently!
6. Under the trophy you can place a black disk to highlight it: a small slice of rolled dough with the black "Play-Doh" and use it later as a cookie cutter to cut out the circle.
7. On all trophies, there is always a small plate to engrave the name of the winner: With a knife, cut a small rectangle in a thin slice of white dough.
8. Place the rectangle on the foot of the cup.
9. For trophy handles, rolls two strips (not too thin) in yellow clay. Then place them on each side of the cup to form the handles.

And you have a wonderful football and trophy plasticine model :
