Matcha Donut Handmade Clay Keychain

Hello, how are you? I woke up this morning with a sore throat, which I guess is a lucky time to start my day, huhu. I hope this will be gone as soon as possible.

So as you know everytime I see a food with matcha on it, I will buy it whenever it takes, I'm still hunting for a pure matcha donut, as in matcha bread and matcha sweet glazing. So to satisfy my imagination, I am going to make a clay keychain out of it.

---

Materials I Used:

---

Craft Time!

I knead the clay by hand until it is completely conditioned and the texture is smooth. Make sure to do this step, and then I always weigh all the clay I used. This is optional if you don't have a weighing scale.

---

Then I shape that clay into a ball and place it onto a gum container lid, and then using the tip of a brush.

---

And then poke the middle to create a hole, just like a donut.

---

To add texture, I use a toothbrush and needle tool.

---

To add shade, I use soft pastels and a brush.

---

This is what it looks like.

---

And then I added eyepin.

---

To make the sweet glaze, I mix clay and liquid clay and mix them until the texture turns into a real glaze.

---

Using the dotting tool, I apply it onto top of the donut clay I made earlier.

---

To make the glazing interesting, I mixed white clay and liquid clay and made a design using it, and then I scraped some soft pastel as a matcha dust.

---

And then bake in a pre-heated oven and set the time and temperature according to what the packaging of the clay instructed.

---

And to add the keychain, I put the jump ring into the eyepin and then lock it using two pliers.

---

Matcha Donut :D
