ICE CREAM I • miniature • polymer clay tutorial

Tag me @fatalpotato if you used this tutorial and shared it on instagram, I love to see your creations!! SHOP: https://www.etsy.com/shop/FatalPotato INSTAGRAM: @fatalpotato Notes: * Liquid FIMO will lower the mixture's viscosity without sacrificing its color. TLS would lighten the color, so you'd have to add more pastels. ** To make rainbow sprinkles: Thinly roll out each color of clay individually. Bake for five minutes. Use a blade to chop them up into little pieces. Careful not to inhale any clay particles (I'd recommend wearing a mask!). *** Oxymoron! **** If you don't have a clay extruder, you can also try using a piping bag. Youtuber RRcherrypie has an excellent tutorial on how to make your own miniature decoration tip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHnYkguePWU&list=PLE83764CF143ECE7F&index=2 ***** Sorry you can't see exactly how I'm extruding the clay! This is the most difficult step for me and the camera's at an awkward angle... Anyway, here are some tips: • Practice a few times on a flat surface before you begin on the cone. • Go slowly. Match the extruding speed with how fast you move the extruder. • Start with a large circle at the base of the cone and proceed with incrementally smaller circles. •  Watch a few videos on how the real version is served! 'Tis mesmerizing. So many asterisks... They look like censored words. :I Hope this helps! -Leah Music: "Sonatina" by Kevin MacLeod (http://incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
