DIY Flamingo Holder

Day 2: Flamingo

This Flamingo Holder is not only a fun project but also a creative way to add Mexican-inspired charm to your home. Perfect for holding small items like your skincare tubes or brushes.

The Flamingo’s Connection to Mexico

Flamingos are a striking symbol of beauty and adaptability. While most people associate flamingos with tropical landscapes, these elegant birds also have a strong connection to Mexico, particularly the Yucatán Peninsula. Here, flamingos thrive in biosphere reserves like Celestún and Ría Lagartos, where their vivid pink feathers paint a stunning contrast against the turquoise waters.

How to Create a DIY Flamingo Holder

  1. Assemble the Flamingo: Attach the neck and head to the cylinder, smoothing joints for stability.Roll and Cut the Clay: Roll out air-dry clay into a flat rectangle and cut out a strip for the cylinder.
  2. Form the Cylinder: Shape the strip into a cylinder and smooth the edges to seal.
  3. Create the Base: Roll out clay into a circle, cut it to size, and attach it to the bottom of the cylinder.
  4. Shape the Flamingo Neck: Roll a long, curved piece of clay for the neck and form a small oval for the head.
  5. Assemble the Flamingo: Attach the neck and head to the cylinder, smoothing joints for stability.
  6. Refine Details: Smooth rough edges with water and sculpting tools. Let the piece dry completely.
  7. Paint the Flamingo: Use pink for the body, white for the face, and black for the beak. Add any decorative accents.
