Kawaii DIY Polymer Clay + Resin Animal Crossing Pascal Tutorial

Pascal has a rounded head, short paws, whiskers, and a face with a calm expression. Those details help give the figure its friendly look. Begin by thinking about the size of the body and head, then shape the larger clay parts before moving to the smaller features. Keep the face simple and check where each piece belongs. Working slowly helps the eyes and whiskers sit neatly.

Polymer clay is useful for shaping the otter, while resin can give parts of the finished piece a smooth, clear appearance. Follow the instructions for both materials, including their curing requirements and resin safety precautions. You do not need to rush the small details to see the character come together.

A Pascal figure can sit beside a Nintendo Switch, game cases, or other Animal Crossing items. It also works as a birthday gift for someone who loves the game. This DIY idea is especially appealing to people who prefer friendly cartoon animals and want a small figure with a recognizable face.

Step-by-Step Instructions

---

1. Sculpting Pascal

Step 1: Head & Body

1. Make the head:
   • Roll a ball of red clay and gently squish into an oval “mountain” shape. This is Pascal’s head.
     Save
2. Make the body:
   • Roll a similar-sized ball of red clay.
   • Shape into a fat teardrop form.
   • Trim off the bottom end for a flat base.

Step 2: Pants and Legs

3. Form the pants:
   • Roll blue clay into another fat teardrop shape.
   • Trim off the bottom for a flat base.
4. Pant legs:
   • Roll blue clay into a long snake.
   • Slice off two small cylinders for pant legs.
5. Assemble torso:
   • Stack blue pants base onto the red body.
     Save
   • Attach the two blue cylinders as pant legs beneath the pants.
6. Make feet:
   • Roll two small red ovals, flatten them, and attach these to the bottom of the blue pant legs for Pascal’s feet.

Step 3: Suspenders & Details

7. Suspenders:
   • Flatten brown clay and cut two thin strips.
   • Lay the strips on the pants from waist up to the chest (you can wrap around the back if desired).
8. Suspender clips:
   • Make two tiny silver squares and place at the top of the suspender straps, where brown meets blue.

Step 4: Scallop Shell

9. Create shell:
   • Flatten a small ball of cognac (or light brown) clay into a mini pancake.
   • Use a needle tool to score lines radiating around the edges.
   • Lightly pinch the bottom for a fan shape.
   • Attach to Pascal’s belly.

Step 5: Arms & Assembly

10. Make arms:
    • Roll two thin red teardrop shapes from clay, making them long and slim.
    • Attach on both sides of the body, curving around to touch the shell.
11. Attach head:
    • Press the head onto the body. Insert a small piece of wire between if you want extra strength.
      Save

Step 6: Pascal’s Hat

12. Make the hat brim:
    • Flatten light yellow clay into a small “pancake.”
    • Gently wrap this around the top of Pascal’s head.
    • Use a blunt tool or the dull side of a knife to indent lines around the brim for texture.
13. Add the hat top:
    • Flatten another small bit of yellow clay and place it on top of the brim.
    • Use your blade to make “pizza slice” indentations radiating out from the center for detail.

Step 7: Facial Details

14. Mouth and cheeks:
    • Flatten a yellow oval for the mouth region and attach to the lower front of the head.
    • Overlap with two yellow teardrop shapes at each side for fat cheeks.
    • For the nose, add a tiny brown triangle above the mouth.
15. Whiskers & eyebrows:
    • Roll thin brown snaky “wires” with clay and cut four pieces for whiskers.
    • Attach two whiskers on each side.
    • Two thin brown lines above the eyes serve as eyebrows.
16. Eyes:
    • Dot black or brown for two small eyes below the eyebrows.

Step 8: Ears & Tail

17. Tail:
    • Form a flat red teardrop, attach to the lower back of the body.
18. Ears:
    • Roll two balls of red clay, flatten into ovals.
    • Use a dotting tool to create an indent in each ear, then fill with a little yellow clay.
    • Cut flattened ears in half and attach a half to each side of Pascal’s head.
      Save

2. Baking

19. Bake your Pascal:
    • Bake the completed Pascal (with all clay pieces assembled) according to your polymer clay package’s instructions—usually 265–275°F (130°C) for 15–30 minutes.
    • Allow to cool fully before handling.

3. Creating the Resin Water Base

Step 1: Mix and Pour Blue Water

1. Prepare blue resin:
   • In a small cup, mix UV resin with blue pigment (use a popsicle stick or spatula).
   • Pour into the silicone circle mold for the water base.
2. Cure:
   • Place mold under a UV lamp until fully cured.
   • Remove the blue water disk from the mold when set.

Step 2: Add Water Texture

3. Prepare white resin:
   • Mix UV resin with white pigment.
4. Spread the white resin:
   • Drizzle and spread a thin layer of white resin over the original blue disk.
   • For a more realistic water effect, use a dotting tool to swirl and vary the white resin for foam and ripple texture.
5. Create bubbles and ripples:
   • Add dots of clear resin into the white resin layer for bubble effects, using your dotting tool.
6. Cure:
   • UV-cure the water disc again until set.
     Save

Step 3: Assembly & Glaze

7. Elevate Pascal:
   • Apply a dot of clear UV resin where you want Pascal to stand on the “water” base.
   • Cure the dot, giving Pascal a slight lift if needed (especially if the head is heavy).
   • Dome another layer of resin on top of the cured base for extra glossiness. While still sticky, gently set Pascal onto the elevated spot and cure again.
8. Glaze (final finish):
   • Brush a final coat of clear UV resin over the surface for an even, glassy finish. Cure under the lamp.

Creative Tips & Customization

• Alternate colors: Make other villagers or try Pascal in different outfits!
• Add shells or sand: Embed tiny fake shells or use beige resin for a sandy base.
• Personality: Play with Pascal’s expressions; try a smirk, wink, or even add a speech bubble!
• Extra glaze: For more shine, dome resin over Pascal’s shell or hat separately.
