This project is surprisingly simple, even for beginners. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a complete novice, you'll find this tutorial easy to follow. We'll break down the process into manageable steps, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable crafting experience. Let's get started on transforming your love for Corgis into a stylish and practical phone stand!

Materials You'll Need:

Before we begin, gather the following materials. Remember, you can adapt this based on your preferences and the size of phone stand you desire. This tutorial outlines the creation of a medium-sized stand, perfect for most smartphones.
Polymer Clay (Air-Dry or Bake-able): Choose a color that best suits your vision. A light brown, tan, or even a playful multi-colored mix would work perfectly. Aim for at least 200 grams.
Sculpting Tools: You'll need tools to shape and smooth the clay. Toothpicks, small knives, or even a ballpoint pen can be used. A sculpting tool kit is ideal, but not strictly necessary.
Acrylic Paints (Optional): To add detail and enhance the Corgi's features, acrylic paints are recommended. Choose colors like black, white, and brown.
Paintbrushes (Optional): Fine-tipped brushes are best for detailed painting.
Varnish or Sealer (Optional): To protect your finished creation and give it a polished look, a varnish or sealant is recommended.
Small Wooden Dowel (approximately 3 inches long): This will serve as the support for your phone.
Strong Adhesive (e.g., hot glue gun or epoxy resin): To securely attach the dowel.
Rolling Pin (or similar): For rolling out the clay evenly.
Baking Sheet (if using bake-able clay): For baking the clay according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Shaping the Corgi Butt: Roll out a generous portion of your polymer clay into a thick, slightly oval shape. This will form the base of the Corgi's bottom. Think of a slightly flattened oval; it shouldn’t be perfectly round.

Step 2: Adding Volume and Texture: Using your sculpting tools, gently shape the clay to create the rounded curves and fullness of a Corgi's behind. Add subtle variations in the surface texture to make it look more realistic. You can use a toothpick or other pointed tool to create small, fluffy details.

Step 3: Creating the Tail: Roll a small piece of clay into a long, slightly tapered shape for the tail. Attach it to the back of the Corgi butt, curving it slightly upward. Blend the tail seamlessly into the main body.

Step 4: Baking or Air-Drying: Follow the instructions on your polymer clay packaging carefully. If using bake-able clay, bake according to the recommended time and temperature. If using air-dry clay, allow it to dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat. This usually takes several hours to a day depending on the thickness of the clay.

Step 5: Painting and Detailing (Optional): Once the clay is completely dry, you can add details using acrylic paints. Paint on small details like a hint of shadowing or subtle fur texture. Let the paint dry completely.

Step 6: Attaching the Dowel: Carefully drill a small hole into the center of the Corgi butt (only if your clay type permits), slightly smaller than the diameter of your wooden dowel. Insert the dowel, ensuring it's secure. If drilling isn't feasible, use strong adhesive to attach the dowel, ensuring it's positioned centrally and firmly attached.

Step 7: Finishing Touches (Optional): Apply a varnish or sealant to protect your masterpiece and give it a nice, glossy finish. This will prevent chipping and also enhance the vibrancy of the colors.

Step 8: Let it Cure: Allow the adhesive to fully cure before using your new phone stand. This ensures longevity and stability.

Tips and Variations:

• Experiment with different clay colors and textures for a unique look.

• Add small details like a tiny heart or paw print for extra charm.

• Use a larger piece of clay to create a larger, more substantial stand.

• Consider adding a non-slip material (like felt) to the bottom for extra stability.

• Get creative with the paint job! Add freckles, different colored patches, or even a tiny collar.

And there you have it! Your very own adorable Corgi butt phone stand. Enjoy the compliments (and the practicality) of this unique and charming addition to your desk or nightstand. Remember to share your creations with us – we'd love to see your Corgi butt phone stand masterpieces!
