Gnomes are little people who are characters in some of your favorite fairy tales and cartoons. A striking example is “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Authors portray funny characters in different ways, and you can also show your imagination when sculpting a gnome from plasticine. We learned how to create a young gnome in one of the previous lessons using the example of Smurf, now it’s time to learn how to sculpt a more mature man.

First you need to remember what a wise gnome looks like. He has a beard and mustache, gray hair and a bright cap on his head. All these distinctive features needs to be reproduced in a craft, and we will tell you how to do this in this master class.

1. To work you will need a lot of different colors of plasticine. The gnome's headdress and clothing can be bright, but black, white and a small piece of beige are required.

2. Start creating a man craft by sculpting the head. To begin with, it will be a small beige ball.

3. Stick eyes, gray eyebrows, and a wide nose onto this detail.

4. On next stage attach a little white plasticine to create a mustache and beard, and then draw hairs and radiant wrinkles in a stack. You should get the good-natured face of an old man.

5. Place a bright cap on the top of your head, don’t forget about your ears.

6. Also attach a small white strip of plasticine to the back of the cap. The gnome's head is ready, set it aside for now.

7. Start forming the body-shirt. Make a torso from plasticine of the chosen color as shown in the photo.

8. Attach a black belt and sleeves made of the same color material. Immediately insert the match into the area where the body and head are attached.

9. Also make the legs separately. Matches will definitely come in handy for this. Stick black and gray plasticine onto the fasteners to create panties and heavy boots.

11. Place your head on free end matches, and attach palms from the remains of beige plasticine to the sleeves.

The gnome is ready, all that remains is to place the new craft in the refrigerator so that it becomes strong and you can play with it. This option can also be considered as a craft made by an elderly person from plasticine, so it can be completed if a child at school is given the task of sculpting a grandfather.

This apartment and this room became his world, or rather, replaced the whole world for him. Before this, his world was a hospital ward. Now he has at least begun to walk around the apartment. “He can go out into the corridor,” Viktor Shabanova’s mother, Olga Nikolaevna, meets us in the hallway.

From the bedside table in the hallway, colorful toys made of polymer clay look at us: dogs, horses, bears, cats, elephants, frogs and gnomes. Victor sculpts different figures, but gnomes have truly become his signature product. Each with their own facial expression. Who is not engaged in creativity now, you say. But Victor makes his wonderful gnomes with one left hand.

After a stroke, the man's entire right half of his body was paralyzed. He has difficulty walking, does not remember letters and communicates more with gestures. Therefore, his mother became the “translator” in our conversation.

Life turned upside down in 2001

Victor graduated from the Faculty of Economics of UPI and worked at the Ural Electro-Mechanical Plant. He had all the attributes happy life: wife, daughter, good job. In the 90s, in order to feed his family, he took up his own business: together with friends he opened a sales company household appliances. But in 2001, a fire broke out in the building on Radishcheva Street, where the company had its office.

All savings and equipment were burned... He was on vacation at that moment. I arrived to an empty place. There was no money left, but it was necessary to start all over again. Due to the shock, he suffered a massive stroke. I prayed for Vitya. And for a long time he could not accept this situation. I thought that he would soon recover and work again,” says Olga Nikolaevna. - A year and a half passed, but it didn’t get better. It was difficult for him to accept the status of an inferior person. His entire right half is paralyzed, and this is speech, reading, movement... Everything was there - and suddenly there was nothing.

At the age of 37, Victor was given Group I disability. Now he is over 50. His wife, daughter and mother have supported him all this time.

Previously, according to Olga Nikolaevna, her son did not leave the room for a long time. It was very difficult psychologically and physically. But the years smoothed out the situation, and creativity helped not to lose the taste for life. Victor learned to walk again, although his right leg does not obey. And classes with a speech therapist helped me speak in short phrases. It was better, according to my mother, with numbers. They remained in his memory, apparently thanks to his work as a financier. Victor himself adds that now he perceives poetry and music better, and especially likes Vysotsky’s songs. True, he can only perceive them by ear: after a stroke, the man lost the ability to read.

Now he has already adapted to such a life. Doctors say that we can only support him with medications, which is what we are doing. The completely paralyzed half will not recover. But he is not discouraged, look what kind of workshop he has organized for himself. It took him 15 years to recover and become human again. Didn't withdraw into himself. Faith and creativity helped, says the woman.

“Mom, you have ruined the sculptor in me”

As a small boy, Victor often visited his grandmother at work, who worked as a watchman at the Union of Artists. I spent a long time looking at the works of sculptors.

He had a passion for sculpture. And I was interested in this at school. He reprimanded me later: “Mom, you ruined the sculptor in me.” And I told him: “Artists are just drunkards, what will you take from them?” - Olga Nikolaevna laughs. “She said: first go to a technical university, and then do what you want.” After work, he “played around” and sculpted something. And now, as they say, life forced me. It is very difficult for him to sculpt with one hand. But each figure turns out to be unique.

Mom recalls that the first Victor figurines “were terrible and ugly.”

The priest who visited us would come, collect all these Vitina figurines, bring them to the church, distribute them to the parishioners with the words: “Pray for Vitya,” the woman recalls with a smile. - And then Vitya began to do better. We were invited to the “From Heart to Heart” project, where they sell handmade things. Vitya now has the drive that he can do something. Can earn money.

This time, mom believed in her son and began regularly spending her pension on bars of polymer clay. One block now costs 300–400 rubles. “It was expensive,” the woman admits, and then Vitya began to earn money and gave the proceeds to his mother with the words: “Buy more.”

He’s an economist, he started planning expenses and income,” the woman admits.

Toys are born in his imagination

Victor is good at making gnomes, and he takes special pleasure in sculpting horses, elephants and dogs. Victor himself at this moment clearly says: “Kasya!”

It was Vitya’s dog, the bull terrier Kasya. She’s so white, disgusting, she looks like a pig,” the woman laughs. Victor protests and with his facial expressions shows that the dog was his favorite. - He generally loves dogs, he is good at them.

Each character with their own facial expressions. It takes the craftsman at least a day to make one figurine. You must first form and trim a shapeless block, then bake it and, if necessary, paint it. Now the figures are “fried” in a regular microwave. There used to be a large stove, but it was broken, and large figures could be baked in it.

Victor could do even more beautiful things, but he cannot do delicate work, small strokes with one hand, as the woman makes excuses. - I have his works at home, even before his illness, where every line and button was made, like an artist’s. And here's how it turns out...

“It’s not true,” Victor notes.

“Well, you’re doing well,” mom assures.

Plots are born in his head. And then there is painstaking work. Victor’s works are sold in the shop of the Church on the Blood and in the online store “From Heart to Heart”. And we didn't leave empty-handed. Now a gnome, an elephant and two dogs have settled in the E1.RU editorial office.

When you make something with your own hands, you always want it to last a long time. It's no secret that paper gnomes don't live long. Let's try to make them from other materials.





So that your toy will not be scary for a long time, you need to make it from polymer clay. This material is also good because it is very elastic when sculpted; the finest details can be sculpted from it perfectly. You can make a whole family of gnomes with your own hands from polymer clay.

    • We make 4 balls, one large one, which will become the head, and three small ones. Let's stick one of the three to the big one. It will become a nose. From the other two, using a stack with a small ball, you need to make two ears. Glue on a white beard strip and cut out a mouth.

    • Stick on a thin “sausage” and make lips.

    • Now we sculpt a mustache and draw stripes on it.

    • Making dimples for the eyes.

    • We shape the eyebrows using thin strips with our own hands and using a stack. We make the eyes three-layered: white, blue, black dots.

    • We make a cap from red polymer clay and put it on the gnome, pressing the folds with the stack. From the same clay we make the legs and shoes of the gnome, and from the blue clay we make the torso.

    • Connect all the parts sculpted from polymer clay together, and you will get the head of a family of gnomes.

These figures can be molded from marzipan, and then the entertaining toys will also become tasty.

Cones and plasticine

To make this red-nosed gnome, you will need fir cones and three colors of plasticine. Cones are a fertile material that has long been used for crafts in labor lessons in schools. In addition to the fact that you can construct many figures from them, classes are preceded by an interesting and useful walk through the forest.

We make a green cap and attach it to the top of the cone. On the opposite side of the cone we stick flipper legs for stability. All that remains is to make the hands and small details of the face.

Salt dough gnome house

You already have a gnome made of plasticine or clay, now you need to take care of where your little magical toy will live. I propose to make a lantern house for him from salt dough.

Dough recipe:

  • wheat flour – 400 g;
  • fine salt – 400 g;
  • potato starch – 4 tbsp. (with top);
  • water – 300 g;
  • wallpaper glue (powder) – 2 tbsp;
  • vegetable oil – 4 tbsp.

Mix the first three positions separately and separately water and glue. After the glue has settled, mix everything and add oil.

Work order

    • Take a plastic jar for the mold. Roll out a portion of salt dough to a thickness of 3-4 mm and wrap it around the mold. Remove excess from above and below, cut through the door. Not only the gnome must fit into it, but also the candle.

    • At this stage, we need to decorate our house as much as possible with our own hands, cut windows of the most varied shapes into it. To do this, you can use pen caps and other devices. The more holes, the more interesting the lantern house will look.

    • We are finishing decorating the house. We mold leaves, grapes, stars, grass from salt dough onto the walls. We leave the future lantern to dry, and then remove the plastic jar.
