MAKE MINIATURE SWEETS FROM POLYMER CLAY

MY LATEST VIDEOS

I used my cabochon mold and some of the tan clay to make the donuts and cookies.  I just warmed the clay up in my hands and then pressed it into the mold.  I gently rubbed off any excess clay and baked the mold at 275 for 30 minutes.

The clay shapes pop right out of the bendable silicone mold.  Just give it a second to cool down before you try to remove the clay shapes because things in the oven get hot.  Sometimes I learn patience through first degree burns.  

These two shapes didn’t have any rough edges, but a little sandpaper would have taken care of them if they had.

For the mini donuts, I dabbed on some pink paint and then sprinkled on chunky dollar store glitter while the paint was still wet.  Once the paint had dried, I gave it a coat of Mod Podge Super Gloss to seal the clay and add shine.

I used a fine tipped black Sharpie to draw some chocolate chips on the round cabochon to turn it into a tiny cookie.  A coat of Super Gloss finished sealed the clay.  I added earring backs to the cookie shapes with a dab of super glue.

I forgot to take pictures of the process of molding and baking these cuties, but it was very simple.  I pressed snakes of white, yellow, and orange clay into the triangle cabochon molds.  After baking them, I added kawaii-style features with a Sharpie and paint and coated them with more Super Gloss.

These sweets are definitely miniature.  Here they are next to a nickel for scale. 

The cookie earrings are perfect for kids, bakers, or anyone with a sweet tooth.

I haven’t decided what I am going to do with the mini clay donuts yet.  If I can figure out how to get them onto jump rings, I think they would make adorable pendants on a necklace. 

I am going to glue some magnets to the backs of my cute candy corn so they can always be smiling at me from our fridge.  What would you do with a set of mini clay sweets?
