Dollhouse Miniature Crackers

 

Watch the video here.

 

 

This week for the Saturday video we are adding some crackers to our cheese and meat tray.

I do have an older cracker video on the channel which you can find here if you want to do some other crackers,

I am starting with the same base color of clay for my first set of crackers this time that I used in that video. But I am using other colors for the 2^nd and 3^rd crackers this time than I use in that video. Ia am also making all three of these differently than I did in that video.

For the base color of clay I am mixing equal parts white and beige polymer clay. Any brand will work.

For the first set of crackers I rolled that clay out into a snake ⅛” in diameter. 

 

 

Then cut this into approximately ⅛” pieces.

 

 

 

 

 Roll each of these pieces into a small ball. 

 

 

 

Flatten each ball with your fingertip.

 

 

 

 

Then add some holes using either the tool I showed you how to use in Tuesday's tutorial or anther pointed tool.

 

 

 

 

Dust the tops with chalk and bake according to the directions on your clay. I baked mine at 275°F for 7 to 8 minutes.

For cracker number 2 I added a bit of Fimo Yellow Ocher to give the clay just a bit of a warm beige color. 

 

 

 

 

For these I printed off a sheet of ¼” graph paper to use as a guide for cutting. I got my paper here as a PDF, this is a site I visit often and have gotten many different items from with no issues. I then out a piece of parchment paper over the graph paper to work on top of. I used two of the slim sticks from Hobby Lobby to guide me in getting a nice evenly rolled surface. I then used the lines on the graph paper to score the crackers then to cut them to size. 

 

The crackers were then textured with the same tool as I use with the first batch. Then chalk was applied and they were baked.

For the third variety of crackers I added some Fimo Caramel to my base clay for a nice light brown color. Maybe a light rye or whole wheat cracker. 

 

 

 

These were rolled the same way as the last batch but I cut them into diamonds just bloodlessly using the lines to guide. For these I used the texture tool with 3 pins.

Then again chalk was added and they were baked.

Our meat and cheese board is really starting to come together. I hope you are enjoying the process as much as I am. If there any items you would like to see me make to add to the board? Be sure to let me know if you have any requests.
