Creating your own desk accessories is one of the most fun and satisfying craft activities. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to make a cute bunny-themed pen holder using Jenna Clays air dry clay.
This project is beginner-friendly, aesthetic, and perfect for decorating your workspace.
✨ Materials Needed
- Jenna Clays Air Dry Clay (yellow & white)
- Small plastic jar (base structure)
- Roller or flat object
- Craft knife / blade
- Pencil or sculpting tool
- Black pen / marker
- Blush or soft pastel (for cheeks)
🛠 Step-by-Step Process
1. Prepare the Base
Take a small, clear plastic jar to use as the structure.
Make sure it is clean, dry, and free from dust for better clay adhesion.
2. Take Yellow Clay
Take a sufficient amount of yellow air dry clay.
Knead it well until it becomes soft, smooth, and easy to work with.
3. Roll the Clay
Using a roller, flatten the clay into an even sheet.
Ensure the thickness is uniform so the surface looks neat and professional.
4. Wrap Around the Jar
Carefully wrap the rolled clay sheet around the jar.
Adjust and align it properly so there are no gaps or overlaps.
5. Shape and Smooth
Gently press the clay using your fingers to shape it.
Smooth out all surfaces to remove cracks, fingerprints, or uneven areas.
6. Trim the Top
Use a blade or sculpting tool to trim the excess clay at the top.
Make the edge clean and level for a polished finish.
7. Create Drip Design
Take white clay and roll it into a thin strip.
Shape it into a soft dripping pattern to create a cute icing effect.
8. Attach the Drip Layer
Place the white drip design around the top edge.
Press lightly so it sticks well without losing its soft curves.
9. Make the Bunny Head
Shape a small round ball using white clay for the bunny head.
Add two small ears and smooth all joints for a clean look.
10. Add Body Details
Create tiny hands and attach them below the head.
Fix all parts together carefully so the structure stays strong.
11. Add Face & Blush
Use a black pen or fine brush to draw eyes and a tiny mouth.
Apply soft pink blush on the cheeks for a cute and lively expression.
12. Fix the Bunny
Attach the bunny onto the top front of the holder.
Press gently and ensure it is firmly secured in place.
13. Final Touch & Use
Allow the clay to dry completely (24–48 hours).
Insert your pens and enjoy your handmade cute desk organiser ✨
