How to Make Honey Bear and Sriracha Bear Charms with UV Resin and Polymer Clay

If you love cute, food-themed art as much as adorable animal characters, this tutorial is for you! In this guide, you’ll learn to make two charming bears—a Honey Bear (inspired by classic honey bottles) and a Sriracha Bear (modeled after spicy sriracha bottles)—using polymer clay and UV resin. This project mixes basic sculpting, mold making, resin casting, and decorative finishing techniques.

Both bears have unique personalities, and you’ll discover how to sculpt their bodies and faces, create bottle spouts, and add shiny finishing touches. Whether a beginner or a seasoned crafter, you’ll find new skills and inspirations in this detailed, step-by-step tutorial.

Step-by-Step Instructions

---

1. Sculpting the Bear Templates

Step 1: Make the Head and Ears

1. Shape the head:
   • Roll a ball of clay and gently flatten it—not completely flat, just so it’s oval-shaped.
     Save
2. Form the ears:
   • Roll two smaller balls of clay, flatten each into a small oval, and cut the ends off to get a crisp curve.
   • Place the ears symmetrically on top of the head—press to attach.

Step 2: Add the Face Snout

3. Make the snout:
   • Take another small ball of clay, cut an end off, and place it beneath the center of the face.
   • Flatten one end slightly using a tool; this helps create a classic bear snout look.

Step 3: Sculpt the Body, Legs, Arms, and Tail

4. Shape the body:
   • Roll clay into a fat teardrop shape and cut off the tip for a rounded torso.
5. Make the legs:
   • Roll clay into a carrot shape, flatten ends, cut at a diagonal, and attach to the lower side of the body for sitting legs.
6. Form the arms:
   • Roll clay into a teardrop, cut in half, and place each half at the bear’s sides, lining up with legs.
     Save
7. Add tail:
   • Roll a tiny ball for the tail and attach to the back.
8. Bake:
   • Bake all pieces according to your polymer clay’s instructions (typically 110-130°C / 230-265°F for 15-30 minutes).

2. Making Silicone Molds (Optional, but recommended for resin)

Step 4: Mold Creation

1. Make molds:
   • Use your baked bear head and body templates as masters.
   • Mix two-part silicone rubber as per instructions and submerge clay pieces.
   • Wait for the molds to cure, then remove clay originals.
     Save

3. Casting Bears in UV Resin

Step 5: Honey Bear Head

1. Pour clear UV resin:
   • Pour clear resin into the bottom third of the head mold. Cure well.
2. Mix and pour yellow-orange resin:
   • Mix yellow pigment with a touch of orange for a honey-gold color. Pour into the rest of the head mold and cure.
     Save

Step 6: Honey Bear Body

3. Pour honey-colored resin:
   • Fill body mold with yellow-orange resin and cure.
4. Demold:
   • Remove cured head and body from molds carefully.

Step 7: Attach Head to Body

5. Join with UV resin:
   • Place UV resin on neck, press head onto body, and cure under UV lamp.

4. Making Bottle Caps & Spouts (Honey Bear)

Step 8: Sculpt, Bake, and Attach Cap

1. Form cap:
   • Roll yellow clay into a thick snake, cut a small disc for the cap.
2. Shape spout:
   • Roll a thinner snake, cut a short cylinder, stack on top of cap disc.
3. Bake:
   • Bake until fully cured and cool.
4. Save
   Glue cap on bear:
   • Use super glue to secure yellow cap/spout atop the honey bear’s head.

5. Adding Facial Features

Step 9: Decorating the Honey Bear

1. Dot eyes:
   • Use clay or acrylic paint to add two small black (or colored) dots for eyes. Super glue or resin is great for attaching.
2. Oval nose:
   • Use a tiny piece of clay (or paint) for an oval nose.
3. Smile:
   • Draw or shape a lined “smile” with paint or clay.
4. Glaze:
   • Brush on UV glaze/resin, cure in layers for a smooth, shiny finish.

6. Sriracha Bear

Step 10: Head & Body Resin Casting

1. Pour clear resin:
   • Fill bottom third of head mold with UV resin, cure.
2. Mix red pigment:
   • Blend red pigment into resin, pour in thin layers (UV light struggles to cure thick, opaque resin). Cure each layer thoroughly.
3. Body:
   • Repeat pouring/cure steps for bear body.
4. Demold and Join:
   • Remove from molds and use UV resin to attach head and body.

7. Making Sriracha Spout & Cap

Step 11: Sculpt and Attach Spout

1. Base disk:
   • Roll green clay, cut out a disk, etch marks around edge with a blade, place atop the head.
2. Second disk and cylinder:
   • Cut a slightly smaller disk, stack, and add a fat cylinder on top. Etch marks.
3. Final tip:
   • Make a tiny cylinder, place at very top for the spout tip.
4. Bake and glue:
   • Bake until cured, glue onto bear’s head.
     Save

8. Decorating Sriracha Bear

Step 12: Add Faces & Details

1. Eyes, nose, smile:
   • Attach or paint facial features as in the honey bear.
2. Bottle art/rooster:
   • Use paint to draw a rooster (or stick figure bird for simplicity) as on real Sriracha bottles.
3. Glaze:
   • Finish with UV glaze/resin in layers for shine.

Tips & Creative Variations

• Resin layer thickness: Thin, opaque resin layers cure better.
• Practice painting: If your rooster looks rough, don’t worry, a stick bird or simple motif still adds charm!
• Try other sauces: Use same base technique for “mustard bear,” “bbq bear,” or other condiment bottles by changing colors and cap shapes.
• Mix media: Paint, marker, or clay can be used for facial details and logos.
