How to make a polymer clay pear:
- Form one 2cm light green ball and press into a pear shape. Form ½ cm green ball and form into a leaf, attach to the top.
2. Form two indents for eyes into the pear with the stylus. Pierce a hole in the bottom with a toothpick. Roll two tiny black balls.
3. Place the clay pear on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake as directed on the package. For me this was 20 minutes at 220 degrees.
4. Glue the black balls on for eyes.
5. Draw on a smile using the black marker.
6. Add white paint dots to the eyes and seal with mod podge.
7. Add a toothpick to create a little stake to press into the soil and voila!
