My essentials for clay crafts:
- We love using this Sculpey Polymer Oven Bake Clay for all of our projects.
- This clay shaping tool kit is a must have for clay crafting!
- These paint brushes are ideal for most craft surfaces and a great price!
- This rolling storage cart helps to keep our craft supplies organized.
Supplies that you will need:
- parchment paper
- baking sheet
- polymer clay in light green, dark green and black
- clay cutting and shaping tools
- toothpicks
- black sharpie fine tip marker
- white glue
- white paint
- mod podge
- paint brush
Directions:
- Form a 1 ½ cm dark green ball into a cylinder shape about 1 ½ cm long and score lines with a clay tool. Form ¼ cm dark green ball and attach it to the top as a stem. Roll two tiny black balls.
- Form two indents for eyes with the stylus. Pierce a hole in the bottom with a toothpick.
3. Bake as directed on the package. For me that’s 20 minutes at 220 degrees.
4. Glue the black balls on for eyes, add a white dot with the paint, a smile with the marker and seal with mod podge.
5. Add a toothpick to create a little stake to press into the soil. Now you have the perfect clay plant marker!
