Hello, how are you? The very first sweet I remembered tasting was chocolate. We used to live with one of my grandmother's sisters on my father's side, who is technically my grandma too, and she used to have a full refrigerator of chocolates, which was supposed to be given to us from our family abroad, but she kept it by herself and ate it I guess LOL now she is facing the cosiquence of her action and got sick and you know what disease it is.
So yeah, what a mess on my father's side. I am so thankful to my mom that we moved out to my mother's side, which is more peaceful and away from family conflict.
So today I am going to make a donut clay keychain made out of chocolate, you heard me right, chocolate.
Materials I Used:
- Polymer Clay
- Glass Sheet
- Weighing Scale
- Gum Container
- Clay Tool
- Needle Tool
- Toothbrush
- Sticker
- Soft Pastels
- Brush
- Eyepin
- Palette Knife
- Liquid Clay
- Acrylic Stamping Block
- X-Acto Knife
- Oven
- UV Resin
- UV Lamp
- Disposable Gloves
- Mask
- Pliers
- Keychain
Craft Time!
I knead the polymer clay by hand to smooth it, and I like to weigh the clay I use. Optionally, you can skip this part.
Shape the clay into a ball. Place it on the top of any lid container you have, as long as it has an inch of height.
I use the tip of the body of my clay tool to create a hole in the center of it.
To add texture in the middle of the donut, I use my needle tool to do the job.
To add the next texture, I use a toothbrush and a tree brush tool. Dap it lightly onto the clay.
Wrap the middle part with a sticker before adding shades to it.
Then I added shade on it using soft pastels and a brush. Using soft pastel is recommended if you want a realistic-looking shade to the clay.
To make the glaze, I mix brown clay, clear glue, and darker brown soft pastels. I keep mixing until well combined, and when I am satisfied with the glazing, I apply onto the top of the clay.
Then I added the eyepin, and after that I bake in into a preheated oven with a temperature and time as instructed on the packaging of the clay.
To add the chocolate sprinkles, I scrape out some of the clay I baked before, using my X-acto knife. This is what it looks like.
I am going to make a glazing again by mixing UV Resin and soft pastels mix them together.
And then I added the clay I scraped out earlier into the mixture and mixed them again until well combined, and the apply onto the clay.
This is what it looks like, and then cure it under a UV Lamp for a few minutes.
I am still not satisfied with the glazing, so I mixed UV Resin and white soft pastels this time.
Just like I did earlier, apply it to the clay.
Cure it under a UV Lamp for a few minutes.
For the keychain, I put the jump ring into the eyepin. Lock it using the two pliers I have for better and easier.
Here is a close-up look at the donut.
