Step 3: Drill two holes by placing the wooden plate below the feet. Now place the foot wires inside the holes and hold them while sculpting.

Step 4: In this step take two balls of clay. Sculpt the doll shoes with fingers and remove the wooden base behind the feet. Insert the shoes in foot wires and glue the feet into the drilled holes in the rigid bottom with epoxy glue. Use needle tools and knives to craft the desired clothes through polymer clay. Add fine details to the clay after sculpting.
Step 5: Now sculpt the arm, hand through clay and attach them to the shoulders. Take a large piece of clay for crafting your head. Make an enlarged head referring to the photo and sculpt facial features, hairs, and ears using sculpting tools. Your bubblehead is almost done. Now bake the structure in the oven at 250-degrees for an hour. Remove it and check it is completely dried.
Step 6: It’s time to use acrylic color for painting through Artist’s brushes. Add fine details in every feature of the eye, lips, button, cheeks, freckles, and even shoelaces.
Step 7: Now take a spring and place it on the top of the neck with the help of a wire. Twist the wire at the end and cover it with polymer clay.
