First Craft Tutorial - Banana Cream Pie Out Of Clay

Hey all you readers out there! I am a fan of all things crafty, since, after all, I was a craft project a while ago. So when Mo showed me her awesome Banana Cream Pie that she made out of clay, I decided that my readers should know how to make one! This project is pretty easy, and is pretty cheap, too! (And if you give these as gifts, people will LOVE them!)

This would also make a great addition to your dollie's dollhouse or miniature food collection!



Banana Cream Pie Out of Clay
By Mo







You will need:






*Polymer or air-dry clay in light yellow, tan, and white



*A metal bottle cap (Make sure it's metal, if not, it will melt in the oven!)




*A knife or razor blade to cut the clay (BE CAREFUL! Cuts aren't fun. You might want to get an older monkey or adult to help you with the cutting)




*Any round object to roll the clay




*And any other tools you want to use to work with the clay. (Using kitchen tools isn't reccommended, you don't want to be eating off your art supplies)


Take your tan clay and roll it into a nice round ball

Then roll it out into a circle



Lay the circle of clay into the metal bottle cap and flatten it.




Next, roll your light yellow clay into a ball.


Lay the yellow clay into the tan "pie crust" you just made and flatten it.


Now you are ready for the yummy whipped cream on top! Take your white clay and roll it into a rope.

Then curl it into a loop and keep layering it until it looks like a dollop of whipped cream.




Almost done! Now place the topping on the filled pie!

If you are using Baking Clay, now is the time to bake your pie! Follow the directions on the clay package. If you are using air-dry clay, leave your pie in a safe place for as long as the package suggests.

And.... (drumroll please!)

Ta-da! Your yummy pie is done!

What do you think? I love bananas, so this is perfect! :)

Yours not-so-truly,
