How I Make Pancakes Keychain Using Polymer Clay

---

Hello! How are you? Lately, I have been craving pancakes but have no energy to do it I don't know why and I am on a break from eating dairy my skin knows I ate too much lately LOL. Instead of cooking some, I'll just make it using polymer clay I keep seeing it everywhere which hunting me hehe.

I've been not doing crafts lately maybe I am experiencing craft block which I don't know if that's a thing but since I made this maybe I back in the game again. Maybe the cleaning my workspace works. I have a lot of lists I am excited to do wish me luck! I hope you enjoy this blog.

Materials I Used:

---

---

Clay Time:

---

Conditioning and Sculpting the Clay:

The first thing to do is condition the polymer clay until smooth.

---

And then I use a portable weighing scale to measure polymer clay evenly. I need three pieces of clay that weigh 3 grams each.

---

Next, I roll the polymer clay with the shape of a circle and then I sculpt it with the shape of a pancake.

---

I do this step for each of the three polymer clay. It is okay even if it is not perfectly shaped so it will look more realistic.

---

This is how should it look like and then I stack them layer by layer. Again it is not supposed to be perfectly aligned.

---

Next, I used alcohol and cotton buds to clean all the visible dirt or dust on the polymer clay.

---

Using the dotting tool I used it to add texture to the polymer clay.

---

And then I used this tree brush to add another texture to the clay.

---

---

Adding Color To The Clay:

Next is to add shade to the polymer clay I am using soft pastel to do it and a makeup brush. Using this it has a more realistic look on it. I used this light yellow ochre first.

---

After that I used burnt sienna and brushed it at the side of the clay, I made sure to apply it little by little so I could control the shade I wanted.

---

This how it looks like.

---

Top to side.

---

---

Adding the Toppings and Baking the Clay:

Next, I shape 4 clay into strawberry and then put it above the pancake. But I only used three of them when I realized I needed to add the butter too LOL.

---

I did not do too many details on the strawberry. I used the dotting tool again to add the dents to make it look more like a strawberry.

---

And then I cut a small square of pale yellow polymer clay to make the butter and then I put it between the strawberries.

---

This is the last step before I bake the clay I put the eye pin in the center of the strawberries and we are done It is ready to be baked.

---

It is ready to be baked I put the polymer clay on the silicone mat I bought only for my clay craft.

---

Next, preheat the oven based on the instructions on the packaging of the polymer clay first before baking the clay.

---

After baking let the polymer clay rest until it cools down.

---

---

Adding the Syrup:

The next thing I do is to add the syrup to the pancake to make it I use UV Resin and Soft Pastel to add color to the resin and I have the UV Lamp with me to cure it.

---

Then I scrap pale yellow and the burnt sienna.

---

Then I mix them well until well combined using a toothpick so I can just throw it after use. Oh, I make sure I use disposable gloves too to avoid mess.

---

This how it looks like. Using a toothpick I apply the mixture onto the clay.

---

I just imitate how pancake syrup looks when poured and then I use a plier to hold the clay too.

---

After that, I use a lighter to blow fire onto the resin to remove any bubbles onto the mixture and to make the curing faster too.

---

And then cure it under UV Lamp until it is not sticky anymore.

---

---

Putting the Lobster Clasp:

This is what it looks like looking like a pancake now. The next step is I am going to add the lobster clasp, jump rings, and chains together.

---

Using the two pliers I put the jump ring in the eye pin first and then hoop the chains next.

---

After that, I lock the jumping and we are done.

---

Now I have a pancake keychain!
