1 . Sawing of wood is irreversible change because the same piece of wood after sawing cannot be obtained again .
2 . Souring of milk is also ireversible change because it cannot be obtained as it was .
3 . Painting on wall is also an irreversible change as the paint or the wall cannot be obtained as it was .
4 . Ripening of fruit cannot be reversed so it is irreversibble change .
5 . Sketching a picture is irreversible change as it cannot be changed into blank sheet of paper .
6 . Breaking of a clay doll cant be reversed so it is irreversible .
7 . We cannot obtain the same incense stick we have burnt so it is irreversible change .
8 . If a balloon bursts out it cannot be obtained as it was so it is irreversible change .
9 . Inflation of balloon is reversible change as we can blow many times in it and make it as it was .
10 .A cloth cannot be obtained if we tear or cut it so it is irreversible change .
11. A boiled egg cannot be reversed so it is irreversible chsnge  .
12 . Melting of butter cannot be reversed , it is irreversible .
13 . A paper cannot be obtained back as it was so it is irreversible change .
14 . Chopping wood is irrreversible change .
15 . The proccess of growth cannot be reversed so its irreversible .
( Well , it was too lengthy but hope it helps , if not dosent matter )

If the clay doll is baked it can be irreversible because it can break. If the doll is made of dough ( children's clay ) then it is reversible .
