MAKE MINIATURE SWEETS FROM POLYMER CLAY

May 22, 2014 by madincrafts 6 Comments

Make your own polymer clay

When I shared my Faux Geode Necklace tutorial last week I promised I would follow up with more information on the really cool silicone molds that I received along with the Premo clay.  I just started playing around with the cabochon mold and ended up with some adorable miniature donuts, cookies, and candy.  My mind is always on dessert, I guess!  Let me show you how easy it is to use the Sculpey mold to create mini sweets from polymer clay.

Sculpey Mold

This is NOT a sponsored post, but I did receive the clay and molds to use for a previous sponsored post.

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.

finished clay shapes

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.

Clay Donut

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.

Mini Cookie from Clay

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.

Cute Candy Corn from Clay

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.

Mini Clay Sweets

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

Mini Chocolate Chip Cookie Clay Earrings

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

Mini Clay Donuts

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. 

Cute Clay Candy Corn

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?
