Handmade Clay Keychain Chili Gloom

Hello, how are you? I’ve been loving spicy food lately, especially with soup, and now that the rainy season is starting, a couple of soup dishes are a good thing to eat at dinner.

So yeah, I’ve been thinking what Gloom I am going to make, and I think red chili is the best idea, and I did it. The weather is so gloomy today, so this is the perfect time to make a clay.

---

Materials I Used:

---

Craft Time!

First thing to do is to condition the clay and then weigh it to my desired size.

---

And then I shape it into a ball, and then sculpt it into a chili shape.

---

And then I added a hole in the middle using the metal ball, and then I added texture using the needle tool.

---

For the head of the chili, I use this green. I sculpt it on paper because my glass sheet won't fit on my mom's desk, LOL.

---

I shaped it like this, and then using the needle tool, I added texture to it.

---

When I'm pretty satisfied with what I added above the chili.

---

Set aside the chili, time to make Gloom, at the first clay I condition it first and weigh it.

---

Shape it until the texture of the clay is smooth without any creases, and then shape it into a head shape.

---

And then I put the head onto the hole I made for the head of Gloom, and then I added a map to where I am going to add the eyes.

---

Using this mini clay cutter, I cut the part of the face like eyes, eyebrows, and nose.

---

The first thing I add is the eyes.

---

And the eyebrows.

---

I shape the nose into a triangle, put it on the face, and then, using the X-Acto Knife, I cut below it enough to shape it like a heart.

---

Then I roll a thin line in the same color I use, and then, using the X-ACTO Knife, put it on one by one.

---

Using soft pastels and a brush, I added the blush.

---

Then I added the screw eyepin.

---

Then bake the clay in the oven according to the packaging instructions. While the clay is baking, I experiment the some thing like mixing acrylic and mica powder to make a shiny thing LOL.

---

Let the clay cool off first, and then I added the paint using a toothpick.

---

And then I added the keychain to the eyepin.

---

Then lock it using the pliers.

---

This is what it looks like.
