Keychains are easy to find at shops or from capsule toy machines, right? But it can be really fun to handcraft one with clay on purpose! For example, you can mold your favorite character, paint it in your favorite colors, and adjust the size however you like—the possibilities are endless.

Add keychain hardware and you can attach it to your bag or belongings as a handy marker, which is a nice bonus.

Clay objet

“Making clay objets at home.” This time I used two packs of clay, but it looks like one would be enough to get a good size! I’ll try a one-pack version and upload it too. What I used ————————————— • 2 packs of paper clay (Daiso) • Water • Utility knife • Plastic wrap (as a substitute for a clay mat) ————————————— It was probably my first time playing with clay since elementary school… it was so fun. That indescribable squishy feeling is addictive. When I finished, the cuteness of the form and the attachment from making it with my own hands made me overflow with affection. Mixing paint into the clay to color it, or painting it afterward, would definitely be adorable too… Playing with clay as an adult is also great for stress relief.#HomeArt#At-Home Art ExperienceHandmadeKorean goodsClay Art#StayHomeTime#100-yen shop#HomeDIY#Interior goods

Mini violin made of clay

It was pretty tough when I tried making a mini violin out of clay.

There are many kinds of musical instruments, each with a different shape, and those differences raise our expectations about what kinds of sounds they can produce.

Focusing on the shapes of instruments, this project is about using paper clay to make a violin shape.

A real violin has a distinctive form made by combining pieces of wood, so let’s carefully recreate the details, such as the curved indentations, through meticulous work.

Once the overall shape is complete, add color, and attach separate parts like the strings to finish it as a realistic-looking violin.
