Floating Ramen Ring & Dango

The ramen is actually floating!!!

The tutorial is uploading here as I type:)

It was so much fun to make!

Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt Charms

 

I finally went a Pinkberry in Atlanta (Buckhead), and I have to say it is the best frozen yogurt I have ever had! All of the fruit is fresh & they have great topping choices:D

Thus, I was inspired to create these charms.

I used a #14 star shaped cake decorating tip to give the frozen yogurt it's "swirly" look. You can use a pen or the end of a paintbrush to push the clay through the tip.

Gillyweed : Harry Potter Potion Ep. # 7

 

So it's time for Harry Potter again! And this one is Gillyweed. A plant similar to seaweed that will allow a wizard to grow gills, webbing fingers, and toes.

Being the Harry Potter lover that I am, I have to admit I never thought of doing this one, but it was requested several times. So I rummaged through my craft room and came up with this. I am in love with this necklace although it needs to be on a much longer chain. It looks amazing in person, and I'm completely surprised at the result! In person it reminds me of a terrarium/aquarium.

Also, I photographed this right before I took my little sister & cousin to the fair. They saw the necklace and forced me to let them participate, so I let my cousin photograph, and my sister model....i.e. the girl pictured is not me:)

M A T E R I A L S:

1. Miniature Bottles / Corked Vials ( Jim Holtz Ideology Michael's Craft Store)
2. Elmer's Clear Glue
3. Yellow & Green Food Coloring
4. Lichen (From Hobby Lobby) or Grass from your backyard
5. Miniature Rocks (Hobby Lobby)
6. Mixing Cup
7. Toothpick
8. Wire Cutters or Nail Clippers
9. 20 Gauge wire
10. Round Nose Pliers
11. Jump Ring
12. Necklace

13. Strong Glue (E600)

 Well enjoy & watch the video on my Youtube page if you'd like to make your own!

XOXO,

Confetti Cake

I was in the mood to make a confetti cake, so here it is!

I made the cake slices in to charms, and I'm thinking about making the cake into a ring:)

I made the sprinkles by rolling out tiny "snakes" of different colors of polymer clay, and then cutting them into small pieces. I usually bake the snakes, then cut the sprinkles, but I wanted to try something different this time. I'm pretty pleased with the result.

CAKE COLORS:
    1. Translucent (Premo)
    2. White (Katoclay)
    3. Yellow (FIMO)
    4. Tan / Ecru (Premo)

CONFETTI & SPRINKLES:
    1. Pink (FIMO)
    2. Turquoise (PREMO)
    3. Red (Sculpey)
    4. Yellow (FIMO)
    5. Orange (FIMO)
    6. Green / Green Translucent (Premo)

FROSTING:
    1. White Katoclay
    2. White Liquid Polyclay (Hobby Lobby)
    ******You can also use water if you don't have liquid clay:)

Wolfsbane: Harry Potter Potion Ep. # 6

Ashlynbebe (from YouTube) requested specifically that I do a blue Wolfsbane potion with smoke that glows in the dark. At first I had little intention of doing it because I had no idea how I would or could create an effect like that, but I stumbled upon a stash of fabric paint I had from literally 8 YEARS AGO! I am not making this up!

I found the bag of about 15 colors a few weeks ago and added them to my crafting supplies with no ideas of how to use them.

Yesterday, I was actually about to go purchase a new bottle of Glow-In-The-Dark fabric paint. But then I thought about that forgotten stash, went searching through it, and found the almost empty bottle!

I felt so resourceful:)

M A T E R I A L S:

• Miniature Bottles: Michael's Craft Store
• Clear Elmer's Glue: Joann's Fabric
• Tulip Glow-In-The-Dark Fabric Paint: Wal-Mart
• E600 (Glue): Hobby Lobby
• Blue Food Coloring: Wal-Mart
• Miniature Label: I printed it out very small, then cut out the words and used a lighter to burn the edges of the label. Please be careful it you're going to do the same!

So try it for yourself, and have fun!

XOXO,

Toni
