Step 3(eyes)-take some white clay roll it into two balls around the size of a dime and place one on each side of the nose .These will be the sclera of the smurfs eyes. You then take some blue clay and place it in the center of the white making the iris of the smurfs eye ,Lastly the pupil of the smurfs eyes is made out of black clay .

Step 4(ears) Take two little pieces of blue clay and shape them like a half of a circle.Take a sculpting tool to make indents and creases  in the ear. which allows the smurfs ear to have a more realistic effect.

 Step 1 , start out with some clay with a circular bottom add more layers of clay shaping it like a hat  ,smooth out the edges , & fold down the top to add a curve .making the hat look more like  a smurfs

Step 2.  , take your  tooth pick and cut of one end to give the toothpick a flat end this will be the erasers side,

You then take the orange marker and colour all of the toothpick except for the sharp end  this will be the tip of the pencil.

After you completed that you then take your brown marker and draw on the very tip of the toothpick making it look like the lead of the pencil.& add a ring of brown on the flat end seperating the pencil from the eraser section.

 Step1(glasses)-  take some brown clay and make two circles about a size of a dime .

secondly  you take some more brown clay and roll two longer pieces of clay making the arms of the glasses round one of the ends down so it is able to sit on your smurfs ears. attach each one to each circle .

Thirdly take a little piece of clay and stick it in between the two circles making the bridge of the glasses to put it all together.

Step2(book.)- start off  by taking some brown& white  clay and make two rectangles one of them brown & the other white. make the white one slightly smaller than the brown.

Secondly place the white rectangle on top of the brown and fold it in half making it look like the brown clay is the cover and the white clay are the pages.

Thirdly take some more brown and white clay , mix these together to  make a lighter brown this will be the strap of brainy's book. place this out side the brown rectangle in the center (see pictures)

Lastly you take some black clay and make the buckle for the strap use a scalping tool to cut little thing pieces of black clay and place them together like seen in the picture.
