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 green, red 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 red ball into a circle shape. Form a ¼ cm dark green ball into a tear drop shape.
2. Attach the green leaf to the top of the tomato. Form two indents for eyes with the stylus and pierce a hole in the bottom with a toothpick. Roll two tiny black balls for eyes.
3. Bake as directed on the package. For me thats 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.
