How to do it
1 Cut the polystyrene ball in half to make two semi circles. Cover the two flat ends with Foam Clay.
2 Attach the two semi circles onto each side of a wooden bobbin whilst the Foam Clay is still moist. Foam Clay sticks onto wood which means that the two semi circles will stick onto the wooden bobbin without using glue.
3 Model lots of small white Foam Clay balls and attach an equal amount of the balls onto both semi circles.
4 Model details for the sheep; the head, the ears and the legs are made from black Silk Clay. The tail and "hair" are made from white Foam Clay.
5 Attach all the parts onto the body. Attach self-adhesive googly eyes and make nostrils using the pointed end of a pencil.
6 Here is the figure with all the details attached onto the body.
7 Leave the figure to dry completely before the next step. Foam Clay air dries within 24 hours.
8 Tie a piece of cotton twine tightly around the bobbin and make a knot. You may use a blob of glue to keep the cotton twine in place.
9 Cut the cotton twine at a suitable length. Tie a loop at the end for a finger to fit through. Wind the twine around the bobbin and the yoyo is now ready for use.
