This Is How I Want My Pizza (Making Pizza Pin Using Polymer Clay)

---

Hello, How are you? It is been a while since I posted clay art pins, I am getting clay blocks LOL just kidding I ran out of energy to do it. So a few days ago my brother craved pizza and he bought one it got me thinking why not make a pin out of it I did it but my version of pizza. Pepperoni and olives are my go-to topping and of course with sauce and cheese too. What toppings did you want on your pizza? This is my first time sculpting pizza still new to it hehe. I hope you enjoy me making it. :D

Materials I Used:

---

Let's Start Crafting!

The first thing I do is grab the closest color of bread polymer clay I have which is this color. Then I knead it until it is soft. Conditioning the clay is important, to avoid cracking when it bakes.

---

After using my hand to knead, I use this acrylic rolling pin to knead the clay again, this is one thing to invest in when making clay art, makes life easier.

---

A portable weighing scale is important when you want your clay to be equally sized. I like to weigh the clay I used to know what specific size I wanted.

---

After that, I started molding the clay into pizza size. I start by poking it into the middle. I just trust the process here.

---

Because I don't have the big dotting tool, I just use the tip of the rolling pin to flatten the clay and I think it works it gives a realistic dough texture. And I love this empty medicine bottle I got from my mom big help to elevate the clay I am making.

---

For this part, I am going to clean the clay I mold, I prepare the materials for it which are alcohol, cotton bu,d, and the lid I got from the broken glass jar my mom had LOL.

---

I dip the cotton buds on the lid with alcohol in it and then start to clean off the dust from the clay.

---

After cleaning the clay, I started to add texture to the clay using the tree brush and this rake tool thing.

---

And then I used this needle tool to add more texture to the pizza dough clay.

---

This is my favorite part, adding shade to the pizza dough clay to make it more realistic.

---

I start with the lightest color before going to the darkest, I just little by little build up the color.

---

I wanted to add more texture to the dough, so I used the aluminum foil method which is to just crumple some and just dab it to the clay. This works if you don't have any tools yet.

---

Next is to add the toppings, I use this red clay I pre-mix before, what I do is I roll the clay in this kind of shape and after that, I grab the x acto knife to cut it into a pepperoni shape.

---

After that, I shape it into a circle and then I grab this dotting tool and poke the middle of the circle just to replicate the shape of the pepperoni when it is cooked.

---

It should look like this, I made enough for the pizza I am going to make.

---

Next, I did the same thing as the pepperoni, I am going to make olive next I don't know, I like olive on pizza so much, this time I am going to use a needle tool to poke a hole in the middle to replicate the olive.

---

The next thing I am going to do is the sauce and the cheese, what I do is I used this liquid clay I made before. I squeeze out enough for me to use.

---

To make the liquid clay colorful, I scrape soft pastels into the liquid clay and mix it until well combined.

---

This is my favorite part, It is like I am making a mini pizza. What I do is add in the sauce I made earlier.

---

I let the sauce dry a little bit before I add the cheese on top.

---

And then after that, I added the toppings I made earlier. I let the liquid clay dry.

---

While the liquid clay is dry, this is the mess I made just this small thing I did LOL. So I clean the workstation first.

---

While I was cleaning I preheated the oven, so that I could save time waiting. Then I put the clay pizza onto the silicone mat and then when the oven is set to the temperature needed. I bake the clay into the time that is written on the instructions.

---

When the clay is baked let it cool down first before doing the next step. You know the clay is baked when it turns matte.

---

Now the clay cools down, I am going to glue the pin into the clay using the UV resin. All the super glue I bought gets hard and unusable LOL.

---

So what I do is put a small UV resin onto the pin and carefully put into the clay.

---

Then I lightly press it onto the clay after that I cure it under the sun for 5 minutes.

---

Now that the pin is glued I am going to seal it with UV Resin to make it more dustproof. I put enough into the clay.

---

Then I used a needle tool to spread the UV Resin evenly, but I ended up using a brush LOL.

---

After that, I cure it again under the sun for 30 minutes or less.

---

I did a little photoshoot around our front yard which is a bad idea that day is super hot but worth it LOL.
