Hotdog Melted Cheese in Bun Handmade Clay Keychain

Hotdog with melted cheese and bun.gif

Hello, how are you? There is one menu from Jollibee that has been phased out years ago, and I remembered I always ordered that whenever we ate out, and now completely phased out i think, due to low demand and sales. So if I have the energy to make one, I will soon, but not today, as I always say hahaha.

So I decided to sculpt it using clay ofcourse hehe. So I hope you like it.

Materials I Used:

Clay
Weighing Scale
Clay Cutter
Gum Container
Toothbrush
Soft Pastels
Brush
Needle Tool
Clear Glue

Clay Tool
UV Resin
Mask
Disposable Gloves
UV Lamp
Keychain
Pliers
Oven
Dotting Tool

Craft Time!

Condition the clay with my hand until the texture is smooth. And then weigh it. I am making the bun first.

I like to shape it into a ball first, just to get rid of any creases and to make the clay smooth when I shape it into a bun shape.

Then I shape it into a long bun, and then I will use this clay cutter.

Then I slice it in the middle, but not completely.

To add texture to I use a toothbrush. I dab it around the bud and then to the middle cut.

I use soft pastels and a brush to add color to it.

For the hot dog, I use this light brown clay and shape it into a hot dog.

To add the texture to it, I use the needle tool to do the job.

Then I added just slightly shade of soft pastels into the hotdog, and then after that, this is what it looks like.

Then I added the hot dog to the slice I made earlier.

To make the grated cheese, I roll a thin sheet of clay and cut it into shredded pieces using the clay cutter. I like to pre-bake it so it will stay firm when it is time to put it above the bun and hot dog.

After that, I mix clear glue and light yellow clay.

Then I mix them until it became a melted cheese-like texture.

And then generously apply it onto the hot dog and bun using my clay tool.

And then I sprinkle that shredded cheese clay I made earlier.

For the ketchup, I mix clear glue and some red and orange soft pastel and mix.

Then I apply onto the top of the cheese.

Then I added the eyepin.

Bake it on time and temperature instructed on the packaging. Before I forget, make sure to preheat the oven first. And completely cool off the clay before proceeding to the next step.

I am still not satisfied with the melted cheese effect, so I added more. I mix UV Resin and soft paste, and mix them.

Then apply it into surface, and I pretty much did it to the ketchup too. LOL. And then cure it under the UV Lamp for a couple of minutes until fully cured.
