So
this week we get to make those curly fries, I think you can see why I
had so much trouble deciding which project to offer first between
this and the curly fries. These are just so darn easy and sooooo
cute!
Again
we only need some white clay and it really doesn't matter what brand.
Any white polymer clay will work just fine.
The
two secrets to this project are the shading with the chalks (you need
a good deep colored coating) and wrapping them around various sizes
of knitting needles and other similar object.
After
you are happy with the coloring of you fries, wrap them around
different sizes of forms. I prefer the knitting needles but I didn't
have enough different sizes so I also used a few golf tees and a
wooden skewer. The variety of sizes and making sure you wrap some
tightly and some loosely will make them look more realistic.
Now
for the slightly painful but so the most important part. These need
to be removed from their forms while they are still hot. If you allow
them to get cold first you are much more likely to break your clay
trying to remove them. Just use something to hold protect your
fingers and work quickly. It really isn't that bad.
So
there you have it- the dolls now have curly fries to eat with those
burgers (or of course they may prefer the hot dogs from a few months
ago)
If
you make any of my projects be sure to share some pictures with me. I
love to see what you are making.
Also
let me know if you have any requests for things to make. I love it
when I can show you how to make the things you want to make for your
dolls.
