I chose to create this piece of Cloyster because of the similarity in human behavior to a Cloyster, I am not about to throw an Ice Beam but rather, humans are prone to close-up and open-up randomly.
And the metal part was required because of the heaviness and the luster and shine of the Pokemon is reflected and it can be used as a cool paper-weight or a show-piece.
I have used metal bottle caps, and spare parts like nuts and bolts and a decorative ball to create this shape.
Supplies
- Bottle - caps = 4, they should be metallic (ideally coke bottle cap) in order to have that frill-shape at the edges.
- Paint = Violet, Blue, Black.
- Paper pieces = draw eyes and mouth with a pen.
- Newspaper for protection of surfaces from paint.
- Gloss Varnish = That shine for better visibility.
- Nuts and bolts = I have used 1 large nut which is attached above the face, 2 medium sized nuts, 2 small bolts and 2 small-sized nuts.
- Decorative Ball = I have used a small decorative ball for the face.
- Strong glue = I have used a Fevikwik.

Attach the Ball in Between the Two Caps
