Cherry and Raspberry Polymer Clay Tutorial

Supplies:
-Red polymer clay
-Gloss sealer
-Blade

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 your
polymer clay brand.
8. Allow the clay to cool completely before you apply any gloss sealer.

2. Give that ball of yellow a good roll or two and run it through
your pasta machine.
3. Run it through the pasta machine until your yellow is about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Using your Icing piping tip like a thimble press into the yellow slab,
cut right to the bottom.


5. Weed away from the pressed circles the excess clay.
6. Flip the piping tip over and press the small end into the center of your
yellow circle all the way through.


7. If you are going to make a Pineapple charm or pendant, put your eyepin now.
The eyepin will give you something to grasp so that you do not remove your
applied texture.
8. Using your blade gently press indentations to make the texture of a sliced
pineapple.
9. Repeat making the indentation on the back side of slice.


10. Bake according to the directions of your clay.
11. When your clay has cooled off, paint the gloss sealer all over the pineapple
slices so they look juicy.
