How to Make Cherries and Raspberries!
1. Knead the red clay until soft and roll into a long snake.
2. Using the blade, cut off a riduclous amount of red clay pieces.
3. Start rolling up all those tiny pieces into cherry balls.
4. Bake as recommended by your polymer clay brand.
5. When your cherries have cooled, use gloss sealer to give them each a nice shine.
TIP: I make lots of crazy small cherries for toppings on various projects.
Painting is always an issue.
Take a small piece of aluminum foil and crinkle up into a snake.
Push sewing head pins up through the bottom in a tidy row.
Remember to leave space between the cherries.
Put a cherry ball on top each pin- do not push through- just enough for them to be secure.
If you bake them this way - let them cool this way also.
Its easier to paint the gloss on and it will give your cherries a tiny stem hole.
Making Polymer Clay Raspberries.
Your supplies are same as cherries.
Follow cherry instructions from 1 -3.
4. Roll a larger red clay ball.
5. If you are going to make a Raspberry charm or pendant, put your eyepin now.
The eyepin will give you something to grasp so that you do not remove your applied texture.
6. Start placing tiny red cherry balls all over the larger ball.
7. Once the larger red ball is completely covered bake according to the directions of yourpolymer clay brand.
8. Allow the clay to cool completely before you apply any gloss sealer.
