You Will Need (3 things)

  • Sculpey Clay
  • Eyelet Screw(s)
  • Acrylic Paint pink,white,and black

Steps (7 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Take white clay and roll into a ball.

  2. 2

    Flatten the ball on two sides and onto the bottom just enough to look like onigiri without flattening it entirely.

  3. 3

    Use a small amount of black clay to make a rectangle then attach to the top portion of the onigiri, which should have a slightly curved pointed appearance.

  4. 4

    Take a small pointed object like the end of a head pin or eye pin and poke light holes on the surface all over the white portion of clay to give the appearance of texture.

  5. 5

    This step may be skipped if you do not want a heart. Use a small amount of pink clay to make two small hearts. Put one on both sides of the onigiri where the "cheek" to the face will be.

  6. 6

    My sculpey needed to be baked at 275 degrees for 15 minutes, make sure your directions are the same before baking!

  7. 7

    Once baked and cooled, make two eyes and a mouth with black paint. Use white paint to make a small reflection speck in each eye and pink paint to make the blush on either side of the face.
