Thinking of buying a keychain? Do not hurry. It is easy to do it yourself. Of what? From polymer clay. You can create different key rings, everything will depend on your skill in working with the material and on perseverance. See below for ideas on what you can create.
Macaroni
A keychain made of polymer clay in the form of a favorite dessert by many is made literally 30 minutes. If you bought material in a suitable delicate color, consider yourself lucky. If your polymer clay, as it is also called - plastic, does not correspond to the desired shade, you can create it by mixing any color with white. Having received the necessary material, you can begin to make pasta. We roll plastic on the table. Now with a thimble, another round shape we cut out 3 circles. One of them should be white - this will be the filling.
The two remaining colored blanks need to be processed around the edges. This can be done with a special knife, if this is not available on the farm, you can make a torn edge with a conventional knife. We glue the parts in the desired sequence. Now bend the edges of the upper and lower cakes so that they are smoother. To achieve the effect of air filling, you must use a toothpick to apply an appropriate pattern to the white layer. In order for the product to harden, it must be baked in the oven for 30 minutes.
Penguin
Anyone who can sculpt from clay can make such a keychain from polymer clay. We make a small bean from black plastic. We roll out white polymer clay. Cutting circles is best done with something that has a round shape, rather than trying to create an even geometric shape by hand. The penguin’s tummy can be made with a thimble, and the eyes with the back of the pencil from which the eraser is removed. Glue the circles to the black base. You do not need to use any glue, the coupling happens by itself. Now we make two small balls and two small sausages from black polymer clay. We glue the pupils to the penguin, wings are made of sausages, having slightly flattened them from the bottom. From a piece of yellow plastic we form a beak. It should be in the shape of a cone. We roll two balls of yellow polymer clay, slightly flatten each of them in the fingers. These are paws. All parts are glued to the penguin. We mount the mount for the keyring to the head, then we send the figurine to the oven.
Zebra
To make such a keychain from polymer clay will be only possible for a person who feels good shape. If the proportions are violated, the zebra will take on a cartoony look. We roll out white polymer clay and cut out the contour of the head of a striped animal from it. Now, using the stack, you need to separate the mane and head from the neck. We form the eye cavity. Give the mane a disheveled appearance. We cut it along the edge with a knife. We form the face of the animal, do not forget to make a mouth and nose. Ears should be fashioned from two circles. A hole should be made in the mane, where you then need to insert the chain. We bake the workpiece. After you take the product out of the oven, it needs to be allowed to cool. After that, you can start painting. Using brown acrylic we draw zebra stripes. We highlight the muzzle in black. The final effect is gluing a bead into the eye hole. By analogy, you can make any polymer clay charms with your own hands.
Pumpkin
If you are working with polymer clay recently, then you need to start with the manufacture of simple forms. For example, with pumpkins. How to make a polymer clay keychain with your own hands? From orange material we roll a circle. Stack through it we miss 9 or 10 troughs. The "body" of the pumpkin is ready, now let's move on to the manufacture of the "crown". From black polymer clay you need to form a cone and give it a twisted shape. A stack should be cut in the tail of the vein. Using an awl, you need to make a hole for the chain. The product is baked in the oven, and after it has completely cooled down, it can be covered with transparent varnish.
Decorative keychain
Such a product can be created even by a child. After all, the form here is not that elementary, rather arbitrary. How to make a polymer clay keychain? We roll out the material and cut out any shape from it. Now the edges need to be bent up so that they are wrapped in waves. If beautiful curls do not work, you can make the edge a little thinner with your fingers. We place beads in the middle of the product. We cut out another arbitrary shape, glue it with one side to the first workpiece. The second edge of the figure must be raised, then wrapped in a wave. Put the beads in the middle again. The operation must be repeated one or two times. After that, bake the product. Paint the finished keychain with acrylic.
Dog
Making a cute doggie will be easy. Trinket "Doggie" made of polymer clay is made as follows. A piece of brown polymer clay is kneaded in the hands, an oval body is formed from it. Now you should make the hind legs. To do this, roll up the ball and flatten it a little. We make a slot in one side of the stack. We put this heart on one side and attach it to the dog. In the lower half of the paw we make two small slots - these will be the fingers. Repeat the operation again to make a symmetrical part. The front legs are formed from sausages, one of the ends of which is slightly flattened. Glue the sausages to the body. Make one paw raised. Cut the claws.
Now you need to make a head. To do this, we form an oval in which we make a recess for the eyes with a pencil. Glue the head to the dog. If desired, you can make a collar. Between the head and body you need to lay a layer of polymer clay of any color. Roll out the brown plastic and cut out the ears from it. We make eyebrows in sausages. We form eyes from white plastic, and pupils from black. Also from black polymer clay you need to make a nose. It remains to make the language. We make it from a red oval, which has a slot in the middle. We stack the dog’s mouth and insert the tongue into it.
