Mother's Day Thumb Print Key Chain

Here's a quick tutorial on how to make these fun thumbprint key chains. 


You will need the following items:
  • parchment or wax paper
  • rolling pin
  • sculpey clay
  • skewer or sucker stick
  • key ring
  • exacto knife or cookie cutter(not pictured)
  • ink pad(optional and also not pictured.)



Gather all of your supplies
 Start out by laying out your parchment paper and breaking off a section of clay. Fold paper over top of clay and use rolling pin to roll out.
Roll to desired thickness, you do not want it to thin as it will break, but also not to thick or you will have a hard time putting the ring on it.

I forgot to take pictures of the next few steps, but they don't really require a picture.

Next cut clay into shape of choice using a cookie cutter or exacto knife.

Once you have your shape cut, press the child's thumb print down into the center of your shape.

Or if you want you can ink their thumb and then press it into the clay

Next make a hole in the corner of your shape by using your skewer or sucker stick.

Bake on paper for 15 minutes on 275° when done let cool and add your key ring. You can use a sharpie on the back and add a name and date on it.
