These doughnuts may look good enough to eat - BUT resist the temptation unless you want broken teeth! (they probably wouldn't taste to good either!
These cuties have lots of uses - whether they are for pendants, earrings, hair-accessories, fridge magnets or miniature food for barbie dolls - you'll have lots of fun making them!

You Will Need (6 things)

  • Polymer Clay
  • Liquid Clay
  • Polymer Clay sprinkles
  • Knife
  • Pokey Tool
  • Jewellery Findings

Steps (8 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Start by conditioning your clay. (I've used Premo Ecru)
    and roll your clay into a ball.

  2. 2

    Press down gently on your ball to slightly flatten the top and bottom

  3. 3

    To make the icing- roll a piece of coloured clay into a small ball. Squish the ball between your fingers to flatten it. Gently pull at the sides to make your clay a thin, slightly distorted shape.

  4. 4

    place this piece on the top of your doughnut. Smooth the edges down so it is stuck to the doughnut. The distorted edges will give a dripping look to the icing!

  5. 5

    With a pokey tool, push a hole into the center of your doughnut.

  6. 6

    To make the sprinkles for your doughnut, roll some very thin snakes of bright coloured clay. Use your knife to cut small pieces to form the sprinkles.
    (Hint - you can pre-bake these so you have a bunch for whenever you need them)

  7. 7

    For the drizzle icing and to hold your clay sprinkles on - use white liquid clay. (I've used Sculpey brand, however it is also available in Fimo brand)

  8. 8

    Cure (bake) in the oven at the clay manufacturers recommended instructions. If you find your clay is still to soft - and not baked properly- you can bake longer but not hotter.
