Description

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!

Instructions

1. 

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

2. 

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

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. 

   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. 

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

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. 

   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. 

   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.
