This is a bobble head making tutorial that shows my methodology for making a bobble head from clay. I used Polymer clay but perhaps you can use other clays too. You just have to be careful to make sure the head is not too heavy.

I have to thank for telling me how to make bobble heads in the first place, and telling me how to make a spring.

This is the method I use for making bodies:

If you do use this tutorial, contact me! I'll add your deviation to this one.

Found a typo: It should say, LOWER parts of the spring, haha. Oh well.

Hope you guys like it!

No, I send them out when people purchase my lanterns. : 3 I haven't decided yet if I want to give out my trade secrets. -.^ Plus no one has really requested one. : /
