Creating a Prosthetic Piece!

To make a prosthetic piece is super simple! You have to start by moulding the shape you want out of clay. (So for example an animal nose.) This is like a template and is the most important part, so taking your time is key! Also using tools and a tiny bit of moisturiser on your hands to soften the edges down really helps.

You have to make sure the edges of the clay are as smooth and as thin as possible to ensure it looks ‘realistic’ when you apply it.

Next, you have to layer liquid latex on top of the clay and wait for each layer to dry before adding another, if not the latex will lift and create lumps. After about 15-20 layers of latex and everything is dry you can heavily powder it and carefully remove it from the clay and your prosthetic piece is complete!
