Have you watched the latest Pixar movie “Toy Story 4” and fell in love with Forky, the adorable spork turned toy? Well, you’re not alone! Many people have been fascinated with Forky and have been trying to make their own versions of it. The good news is, making your very own Forky is a fun and easy activity that can be done with just a few basic materials.

To make Forky, you will only need a plain white spork (or any plastic spoon with a curved oval shape), some modeling clay, googly eyes, and pipe cleaners. That’s it! The process may seem daunting at first, but once you get started, you’ll see how simple it is. With a little bit of creativity and patience, you can create your very own version of the beloved character. So, let’s get started on making your own Forky!

Supplies Needed

Before we dive into the steps of making your very own Forky, let’s first go over the supplies you’ll need. These materials are easy to come by and won’t break the bank:

1. Forks
2. Blue and red pipe cleaners
3. Googly eyes
4. Red clay
5. Popsicle sticks
6. White school glue
7. Scissors
8. Red and blue paint
9. Paintbrushes
10. Marker

Step 1: Create Forky’s Base

Begin by placing a fork face down on a flat surface. Twist a blue pipe cleaner around the center of the fork and bend the ends to form arms. Cut a red pipe cleaner into three pieces and twist them together in the center, then twist one end around the top of the fork to form Forky’s mouth.

Step 2: Add Googly Eyes

Grab your googly eyes and apply a small dollop of white glue on the back of each eye. Carefully place them above Forky’s mouth and hold them in place for 30 seconds. Once the glue dries, you should have Forky’s face!

Step 3: Sculpt Forky’s Feet

Grab the red clay and mold two small, rectangular pieces for Forky’s feet. Attach each one to the bottom of the fork’s handle using white glue. Be sure to press firmly to ensure the clay sticks properly.

Step 4: Create Forky’s Hands

Take the popsicle sticks and cut each one in half. Paint four of the halves with blue paint and the remaining four with red paint. Once dry, attach the painted popsicle sticks to the ends of Forky’s pipe cleaner arms using white glue.

Step 5: Cut Forky’s Arms

Using a pair of scissors, cut small slits at the ends of Forky’s pipe cleaner arms. This will allow you to attach the popsicle stick hands more easily.

Step 6: Attach Forky’s Hands

Apply a small amount of white glue to the ends of the painted popsicle sticks and insert them into the slits in the pipe cleaner arms. Allow the glue to dry for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 7: Add Details to Forky’s Face

Using a blue marker, draw Forky’s eyebrows just above the googly eyes. Then, draw a red smile beneath the mouth. You can make the smile as big or as small as you’d like.

Step 8: Make Forky’s Spork Stand Out

Using the red and blue paint, paint the entire fork to make it stand out like Forky from Toy Story 4. Be sure to let each side dry completely before flipping it over to paint the other side.

Step 9: Customize Forky

Get creative and make your Forky unique by adding additional accessories or decorations. You can even make him a full outfit using materials like felt or fabric.

Step 10: Enjoy Your New Forky!

Once you’ve completed all the steps, it’s time to show off your new creation. Use Forky as a decoration, play toy, or simply display him with pride knowing you made him with your own hands. Congratulations, you’ve successfully made Forky!

Materials You Will Need

Making forky is easy and fun. All you need are a few materials that can be found at any craft store or online. Here are the materials you will need:

  1. White and red polymer clay
  2. Blue and black permanent markers
  3. A pair of scissors
  4. A toothpick
  5. A baking sheet
  6. Wax paper

Once you have gathered all your materials, it’s time to get down to business and make your very own forky!

Step-By-Step Instructions

Here are the step-by-step instructions to help you make your forky:

  1. First, preheat your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Next, roll out your white clay into a long, thin cylinder-like shape to make the body of forky.
  3. Then, shape the white clay into a fork by using your fingers to make the prongs and the handle.
  4. Now, it’s time to make forky’s arms. Take a small piece of white clay and roll it into a ball. Flatten the ball with your fingers to make a disc shape. Cut the disc in half with your scissors. These will be forky’s arms.
  5. Take the toothpick and use it to make two small holes in the top of forky’s body where the arms will be attached.
  6. Insert the arms into the holes and shape them to look like a spork’s arms.
  7. Next, take the red clay and roll out two small balls. These will be forky’s cheeks. Use your toothpick to create two dimples on each cheek.
  8. Attach the cheeks to forky’s body with your toothpick, just under the eyes and above the mouth.
  9. Then, use the black marker to draw two oval-shaped eyes on forky’s face.
  10. Finally, use the blue marker to draw forky’s mouth.

Baking Your Forky

After completing the last step, it’s now time to bake your forky. To do this:

  1. Place forky on the wax paper on top of the baking sheet.
  2. Bake forky for about 10-15 minutes in the oven, or until the clay is firm to the touch.
  3. Allow your forky to cool completely before handling.

Tips and Tricks

Here are a few tips and tricks to make sure your forky turns out perfectly:

  • Be gentle with the clay. Polymer clay can be fragile, so handle it with care.
  • If you make a mistake, it’s easy to start over. Simply roll the clay back into a ball, and start again.
  • If you want your forky to be more permanent, consider using a clear varnish or glaze once it is baked.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully made your very own forky. Now you can add this unique and adorable Toy Story character to your collection. Be sure to share your creation with family and friends, and don’t forget to use the hashtag #ForkyChallenge!

Step-by-step guide to make Forky

Now, it’s time to start bringing your Forky to life. Below are the five steps that you should follow to make Forky.

Step 1: Gather all required materials

You must have all the necessary materials on hand before starting your project. Refer to the table above for a list of everything you need.

Step 2: Make Forky’s body

Take the modeling clay and shape it into a kidney-shaped body. The clay should be just smaller in size compared to the plastic fork’s end. You can squeeze it on to the fork’s center to make Forky’s body. Be sure to apply pressure and mold the clay around the fork’s body to make sure it sticks firmly.

Step 3: Add googly eyes

Take your googly eyes and attach them to the front of Forky’s body, on either side. Remember that a significant part of Forky is his big googly eyes, so be sure to get them just right.

Step 4: Make Forky’s arms

Cut the red pipe cleaner and blue pipe cleaner into equal-sized pieces, around 3 inches in length. Take each piece and wrap it around the fork’s center, about half of an inch below Forky’s body.

Step 5: Design Forky’s collar

Cut a small piece of blue tissue paper (around 2 inches by 3 inches). Fold the blue tissue paper in half, and then cut a small triangle along its fold. Slide this tight around Forky’s neck, making sure that it fits snuggly. Convolute the tissue paper to give it that fabric-like appearance.
