Step 4: Quills of Hedgehog
Take a handful of sunflower seeds. These seeds would be used to make the quills of the hedgehog. Place the seeds on its body one by one. To set the seeds on the body, penetrate them slightly inside the clay.
Step 5: Placing Sunflower Seeds
Place the seeds first on the outer body and then place them on the inner body of the hedgehog. Look at the picture for reference.

Take some red and white clay dough. For the nose, take red clay and make a small ball. Place it on the sheet beside the face of the hedgehog. For the ear, take some white clay dough and give it a shape similar to the ear. Place it on the face. Please look at the picture for reference.
Step 7: Eyes of the Hedgehog
For the eye, take a googly eye and place it on the face of the hedgehog.
Step 8: Detailing on the Hedgehog
Take some red clay dough and make 3-4 small balls. Place these balls on the sunflower seeds(quills) of the hedgehog. Now, take some pink clay dough and make a very small ball. Place it on the cheek of the hedgehog. Then, take a black marker to draw a smile on the hedgehog’s face.
Step 9: Sky in the Background
Take some red clay dough and give it the shape of a disk. Place it on the paper as shown in the picture to make a sun.
