Food for dolls: master class on miniature preservation
The little owners of the crowd of dolls are not far behindtheir mothers-needlewomen and all demand for their "girls" either new clothes, or furniture, or food. However, the mothers themselves are seriously into either collecting dolls, or creating doll miniatures, or both at once. We offer you a master class on making food for dolls, namely - small jars of preserves!
To make food for dolls - miniature mushrooms, tomatoes and cucumbers - we will need the following materials:
glass jars; polymer clay (white,brown, red and light green); dry pastels; thin rubber hair ties; thick paper; super glue; sandpaper; clear varnish or epoxy resin; dry dill; black peppercorns (fine).
Food for dolls: job description
Let's start by making the mushrooms: knead the white and brown polymer clay well and roll it into thin sausages.We cut the sausages into small pieces with a knife.
We roll balls from brown plastic and form them into caps for future mushrooms.
We also roll balls from white plastic and addthem into a drop shape - these will be the legs. We lay out the blanks on the glass, on which we will bake the products in the oven. You can use foil instead of glass.
Now we knead the red plastic for the tomatoes. We roll out the sausage a little thicker than for the mushrooms. We cut it into small pieces of different sizes (small and large tomatoes).
Roll the balls. To give them a more natural look, “draw” the butt: break off the tip of a toothpick, dip it in green pastel crushed with a knife and lightly press the middle of the future tomato.
To make cucumbers, roll out light green polymer clay. Cut into small and large pieces.
We give the plastic the shape of a cucumber, imitating the rough surface using a toothbrush.
We tint the cucumbers with crushed dark green pastel. We leave the tips light.
Well, what kind of preservation would it be without garlic?especially if it's food for dolls! The teeth are made very simply - cut a ball of white polymer clay into 4-6 parts, depending on the size of the slice we want to get.
We send the glass (foil) with all the blanks to the oven and bake according to the instructions on the polymer clay package. Usually the baking temperature is 110 - 130 degrees.
The baked products harden and become like plastic. We assemble the mushrooms from two parts. We sand the stem with sandpaper, and glue the cap to it with superglue.
And now the most interesting part – filling the jars.Put some garlic on the bottom, you can add some dry dill and small peppercorns. Next - cucumbers, tomatoes, mushrooms; sprinkle with chopped dry dill on top again.
Fill the contents with translucent varnish. You can also use fimo gel (requires re-baking of the product) or epoxy resin.
We glue the corks with superglue. We cut off the loop with a knife.
We cut out small squares from thick paper, cover the jars with them and secure them with rubber bands.
That's it, the miniature food for dolls is ready, we send the jars to the dollhouse. If you don't cut the loop on the cork, you can hang the preserves on a keychain.
You can also buy it in handicraft storesready-made polymer clay fruit canes, cut them, put them in jars, fill them with epoxy - and get jam or compote. It is not difficult to make other sweets that you see in jars here in the photo. And if we are talking about larger dolls, for example, Baby Bon, you can offer them more substantial food - for example, . Irina Golub specially for the site Previous article: Next article:
