Doll Size S'mores!!!!!!!!!!



This week we are finally getting the s'mores finished! I know this was a long process but I didn't want to make any of the videos any longer than they already were. I hope this was worth the wait.



So we are starting by making some roasting sticks for our s'mores. Since we use the metal variety at our house I started with those. 18 gauge stem wire seems like a good weight and looks in scale. By adding the clay to make a handle it is more substantial and easier to handle.

For the wooden variety an 1/8th inch dowel looks about right and is a good balance between the correct visual weight and still having some strength to it.

For the marshmallows that go on the sticks we are using the same Model Magic clay that we used last week for the ones to go with the bag. That way these still retain the softness of the real thing. It is up to you how much color you add via chalks and paints to make yours look gently roasted or totally burnt. Remember there is a kid like me in every group that just has to start their marshmallow on fire.

Now the fun part begins, we are going to build the s'mores. Start with the baked half graham crackers from last week. Place one textured side down on your work surface and using the same clay we used for the chocolate bars form the blob of melty chocolate on the less textured side. Now use another half cracker to smash a ball of white polymer clay until it looks like the marshmallow would look in your s'more. Now use a blade to remove the marshmallow unit from your work surface and stick the two halves together. Give them a little squeeze, add some chalk to the white clay and set them on a paper plate for baking.

There that is all there is to it! The dolls can now pig out on s'mores around the campfire.



Now I am going to go make some real s'mores why don't you join me and we can eat some gooey goodness to celebrate fall.
