This
week we are going to play with some polymer clay and create a few
Christmas candies. I only got to show you two varieties in the video.
There were a couple of reasons for that: I knew the video was getting
a bit long, I did tape a third one but I didn't like how it turned
out so I decided to not use that one, and most importantly I was
beginning to get a sore throat so I just didn't feel like talking
anymore. I gave a wonderful base to work from though so use your
imagination and come up with more ideas on your own.
Just
a hint we might be using some of this candy next week on a project. I
hope things go well and we can anyway.
I
did make a video a few years back on how to make candy canes and you can find that here if you would like to make those too.
For
the video I used all Fimo brand clay but any brand will work just
fine. I do feel you need to add a translucent clay to each of the
colors and I vary the amount depending on what I am making and how I
feel like mixing it that day. It is not an exact science so have fun.
I am not sure what the proportions were on the candy cane video but
they were probably different than I used on this video. It is really
up to you how much translucent clay you use in the mix just be sure
to use some.
The
colors I used were: Tropical Green, Indian Red, White and of course
Translucent, but you can use any colors you want. Any red and any
green will work for Christmas candy I just pulled out the ones I can
to first in the box. I really wanted to use Pearl for the white
portions but I seem to be out of that color so I used the white. You
can even use the glittered clays for candy, really anything goes.
If
you change the colors out you can make these same candies for any
holiday or any season. Again let your imagination go wild and see
what you come up with.
