sculpting tools



	Homemade Sculpting Tools Supplies/Tools: Round Toothpicks (4) Standard (office) Staple Small Paper Clip Straight Pin X-acto Knife Cyanoacrylate (CA) Glue Wire Cutter Needle Nose Pliers
	Step1 Cut off one of the tapered ends of 4 toothpicks.
	Step 2 Using the pliers straighten out one side of the staple. Then bend the other side all the way down to the staple shaft.
	Step 3 Glue the bent staple to one of the modified toothpick as seen in the 2nd picture.
	Step 4 Straighten out one side of the paperclip. Cut this long straight piece off. It will be used later.
	Step 5 Take the other part of the paper clip and crimp the bend closed with the pliers. This will give you a shape similar to the staple but a little larger.
	Step 6 Glue the bent piece of paperclip to one of the modified toothpick as seen in the 3rd picture.
	Step 7 Take the straight piece of paperclip and glue it to a toothpick as seen in the 4rth picture.
	Step 8 Use the wire cutters and snip off the head of the straight pin.
	Step 9 Glue the pin to a toothpick as seen in the last picture.
	Final Notes These are the tools I used to scuplt my Duros head. You can use different sizes of wire or pins for different tools. I also use various sizes of sewing needles that you can buy at places like Wal-Mart and arts and crafts stores.
