Welcome
to the world of amazing and creative polymer clay tutorials. Polymer clay is a
versatile material that anyone can work with, even without formal schooling
or prior training. Whether it be miniature foods, animals, or imaginary
creatures, the sky is the limit when it comes to what you can create with
polymer clay.
Here, I
share with you some fantastic and easy polymer clay food tutorials for beginners,
inspired by Japanese kawaii. The project is just to share some polymer clay
basic and beginner techniques that will hopefully inspire you to design your
own cute clay creations. If you are a beginner at working with polymer clay, this
DIY polymer clay tutorial is a perfect place to start with. Polymer clay is
easy to work with if you want to start as a hobby or a business, so I think you
will love these polymer clay foods-making tutorials. So, let’s start working
on our own DIY polymer clay foods tutorial.
Bread Loaf
POLYMER CLAY BREAD LOAF
Materials Required: -
Translucent Clay
White Clay
Light Yellow Clay
Yellow Chalk Pastel
Red- Brown Chalk Pastel
Cornstarch
Aluminum Foil
Soft Paintbrush Blade
Ceramic Tile
Plastic Or Glass Container
Glaze And Paintbrush
The Way: -
1. Start by mixing equal amounts of white and translucent polymer
clay. Add a small chunk of yellow clay
to the mixture clay and condition it till smooth color forms. Now, knead
the clay mixture properly to form a shape of bread dough( you can shape your
favorite bread shape).
2. Shape the clay dough into an oval loaf of bread about 2.5 cm. Lightly
press down the bread loaf to make the bottom flat.
3. Crumple up three small pieces of aluminum foil into thin rough
skin snakes. Try to make each foil piece as wrinkly as possible.
4. Now press these wrinkly
crumpled aluminum foil in a row on the top of the loaf to give realistic look
to our polymer clay goof project.
5. Using a sharp knife tool, scrape the yellow pastel chalk in
form of powder into a small container or a piece of paper.
6. With the help of a clean brush, brush the yellow chalk all over
the bread. be careful, don’t let the chalk powder get under the foil.
7. Now repeat the scraping process with red-brown pastel chalk and
brush it on the top and bottom of the polymer clay loaf, again not letting it
under the foil. 
8. Finish the dusting a little bit of corn-starch on top before
baking. After this remove the aluminium foil strips. 
9. Bake the piece at 110 degrees for 10 minutes. 
10. UV resin or varnish can be done if one loves the shining effect on
polymer clay loaf or leave it unglazed.

The Way: -
1. Start your polymer
clay project with mixing equal amount of translucent and beige colour polymer
clay. Make two or three flat pancakes from this mixture according to your
requirements like charms, earrings or keychains, or buttons.
2. Make a mixture of
three parts beige and one-part red brown polymer clay. With this mixed clay,
make a flat circle slightly smaller in diameter than the pancakes. Make one
circle for each pancake. 
3. Now place the flat
circle onto your pancakes. 
4. With a gentle hand or
a silicon brush smooth the edges of your clay pancakes to make the pieces look like tasty yummy browned
pancakes.
5. Stack the pancakes
together slightly off center.
6. Mix the light
yellow clay with translucent clay in equal ratios to make your butter. Now, create
a small square and place the square on top of the pancakes. 
7. Squeeze some liquid
polymer clay into a plate. with the help of a blade, scrape some red brown
chalk pastel into the liquid clay. 
8. Mix the liquid clay
and chalk until so there are no lumps left in the liquid. using the mixing tool,
dizzle the mixture onto the pancakes.Allow some of the syrup to drip down the
sides of the pancakes to make it look more realistic. 
9. Bake the
polymer clay pancake pieces at 110
degrees for 15 minutes. once it has cooled, use a small paintbrush to paint
glaze onto the syrup. Glazing the honey will make the polymer clay project
realistic.
Cinnamon Roll
Material Required: -
Beige Polymer Clay
Dark Brown Polymer Clay
Liquid Polymer Clay
Red Brown Chalk Pastel
Toothpick
Mixing Tool
Blade
Clay Roller
Glass Container
Tile
Resin And Paint Brush
Jump Ring
The Way: -1. Roll a thin long
sheet of beige color polymer clay about 6.4 cm long and 1.3 cm wide after
conditioning the clay properly.
2. Flatten the sheet
slightly with the acrylic roller. Try to avoid the air
bubble.
3. Repeat steps 1 and
2 with the dark brown polymer clay, but make this sheet slightly narrower and
shorter than the beige color clay sheet. Now gently and carefully lay the dark
brown clay sheet on top of the beige clay sheet and press them to each
other. ( optional: you can use clay glue between the sheet to stick them )
4. Start rolling from
one end of sandwiched polymer clay sheet and roll up the clay strips with the dark brown in the center.
5. Roll until the
piece is as per your desired size, then cut off any extra clay at the end.
6. Using a blade tool,
scrape some red-brown chalk pastel into a plate. Using a soft paintbrush dust
the bottom and top of the bun to make it look freshly baked.
7. Create the frosting
using liquid polymer clay and a pinch of white clay to thicken it up. This
mixture should be liquid enough that one can drizzle it, but thick enough that
it won't run completely off the side of the roll.
8. To apply the
frosting, use a mixing tool to drizzle the liquid clay mixture onto the beige half of the roll. Follow
the line of the beige polymer clay around the roll, starting from the center.
9. Make it look like
the frosting is dipping off the roll by maneuvering the frosting down with a
toothpick.
10. Bake the piece at
100 degrees for 10 minutes. when it has cooled off, either glaze the frosting or it unglazed. I preferred the unglazed yummy cinnamon roll necklace.
Donut
Material Required: -
Translucent Polymer Clay
Beige Polymer Clay
Dark Brown Polymer Clay
Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Purple, And White Clay
Liquid Polymer Clay
Slice Blade
Clean And Smooth Tile
Paintbrush And Glaze.The Way: -
1. Mix beige polymer clay
with translucent clay in equal ratio after conditioning it, from this mixture
into a disk shape about 2.5 cm in diameter and 6mm thick. Use the round-shaped
end handle of a paintbrush or any stick, to poke a hole in the donut.
2. For the frosting,
roll out a thin circle of dark brown clay slightly larger than the donut. Lay
this on top and poke a hole through it. press down into the hole to secure the
frosting.
3. Roll out a thin cane of red, green, yellow, orange, purple, white, and blue polymer clay for sprinkles. Bake these rolls for five minutes in the
oven.
4. Once the clay has
cooled, slice the roll into short sprinkles.
5. Put a drop of
liquid clay onto the donut and place a sprinkle on top of it. Repeat for as
many sprinkles as you love to have on your favorite donut. in place of liquid
clay, clay glue can also be used.
6. Now
bake the sprinkled chocolaty tasty donut at 110 degrees for 15 minutes. Now time
to glaze the donut.
Strawberry Ice Cream Cone
Material Needed: -
Light Pink, Dark Pink Beige Clay
Translucent Clay
Scrap Clay
Red Brown Chalk Pastel
Aluminum Foil
Parchment Paper Soft Paintbrush
Roller
Clade
Tile
The Way: -
1. Roll the conditioned
dark pink polymer clay into a flat sheet about the size of a thumb. No need to
be specific in size. Place this onto the oven for 5 minutes.
2. Once the polymer
clay has cooled enough that you can handle it, slice off small chunks from the
baked clay in all different sizes(no need to have perfect edges ). These
will be the strawberry chunks.
3. Knead the light
pink clay until it is soft ( means conditioned the polymer clay. Add in the
strawberry chunks and mix until they are evenly distributed. As you work the
clay, notice that when you fold the clay, it creates a cranky texture. If it does not, flatter the clay and place it between two pieces of plain white paper
to leach out some of the plasticizers.
4. Round out the ice
cream with the crackled texture on the top to create a ball. Place the ball on work surface and
use a blade tool to scrape down the sides of the ball to add more texture.
5. Crumple up a small
piece of aluminum foil and press perpendicular lines along the cracks on the
top.
6. Flatten the scrap
clay into a sheet to make a mold for the cone.
7. Use any flat item to impress parallel lines in the
clay . I would love to use a piece of
cardstock, thin cardboard to thin plastic to make the lines. Make sure they
should be clean and smooth.
8. Use the same flat
item to impress lines in the opposite direction, thereby making a grid. bake
the mold for 5 -10 minutes.
9. Dust the mold with
some cornstarch and flatten the beige clay into the mold in a rounded triangle
shape.
10. Remove the clay
from the mold and roll it into a cone shape. if the cone seems too large for
our ice cream, flatter they clay out
again and cut off a bit from the sides.
11. Use a blade tool
to scrape off some red-brown pastel. Brush it onto the cone with a soft paintbrush. Try to keep the color on the ridges of the cone. This will make the
cone look more realistic.
12. Place the ice
cream onto the top of the cone and press
down lightly to secure. Fold a piece of parchment paper according to style and
place the ice cream cone in the folds to prop up while baking. bake the ice cream
at 110 degrees for 15 minutes.
Food made from polymer clay can be as earrings,
buttons or cute pendants or keychains, or toys, for example, doll food for a doll
house. Polymer clay food can be used to decorate many objects as well, totally
depending on your creativity. I love to have this food for bracelets and
keychains.
