Hotdog Melted Cheese in Bun Handmade Clay Keychain

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:

---

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.

---

Time to add the keychain, so I hoop the jump ring into the eyepin.

---

Then I lock it using the two pliers I have, and done!

---

It is a long that I am planning on making it and now it is the time, and I really love the result of it :D

---
