hi everyone it's chupadoodles 
hope you're having a chupa day and today
i'll be making some studio ghibli clay
pins
for this video i'll show you my process
which includes
shaping and molding, cleaning and baking
and sealing the clay and then finally
packaging. i am by no means a clay expert
but if you would like me to make an
in-depth tutorial
comment below please. over here i'm
making a ponyo pin
other pins i'll be making in this video
are
the big and medium sized totoro
sophie and howl
haku and chihiro, kiki and setsuko
to make the fringe you basically roll
the clay into tiny little balls
and stretch it to your desired length
and then place it on the face i don't
know what i was doing here
but i definitely should wear my glasses
in the next part there's a short time
lapse of how i made haku
over here i'm making the medium-sized
totoro
i roll the base out with a marker in
order to get those small
oval shapes
in between making clay pins i also
illustrate cute
art and i post it on instagram so feel
free to check it out
here is chupa and barky sharing a
dango together
although chupa is really hesitant. before
baking your clay pins
it's always good to clean them first
with some alcohol
this cleans away any dust that might
have settled on it
yay i finished molding and cleaning the
clay
now i just got to bake it
here is a clip of me cleaning some other
chupa pins i made previously
and then i'm just gonna coat it with
resin
this is where it all went wrong because
when i coated it with this resin
it actually became very blotchy
so i'm quite unsure what went wrong but
my theory is that
it was really cold that day so next time i'm
just gonna use uv
resin so i'm just waiting for it to
arrive right now
it's taking a long time but i'll be
patient
uv resin is generally much more
consistent
than two part resin
let me show y'all what went wrong with
my resin
so over here you can see there are a lot
of bumps and it's really uneven
i was not happy with it so i decided to
sand off the resin that i could
and coat the rest with polyurethane
it was quite a long process but i was
really happy with the result
as i needed to sand the back anyway so that it
was nice and smooth
to attach the pin backings
i'm just coating chupa over here
i coated each pin with two to three
coats of polyurethane
i coated each side of the pin separately
and each coat took about two to three
hours to dry
so it was quite long but it was worth it
to see the results
it was another cold day and here's a
shot of me eating some ice cream
yay it is all dried and done
so now i'm just gonna attach the pins to
the back
*super turbo speed on*
it took me a while to attach all the
pins to my clay babies
so today i designed the packaging for
the clay pins
and i also cut it up with a cutter and i
proceeded to pin the pins onto the packaging
here is a quick shot of the totoro pin
before i move on to cutting up the
packaging
i don't know why i cut this on the floor
my back was aching
i'm just gonna cut the corners as i
prefer that look
and then after that i'll pin on the pins
i need to find some synonyms for pins
and packaging as i feel like i keep
repeating those words over and over again
and it's done
to attach the clay pins i attach the
packing board onto a washi tape this
creates a hole
where i can poke it with a smaller
needle
before going on with a thicker needle
after that i attach the pin onto the
packing board
i hope that makes sense and i saw this
from another video from Katnipp so
credits to her
here is a final look of all the pins
these pins will be available on my store
in mid to late september i post updates
on my instagram
so please stay tuned
