  Step 1

  For the inside:

  Mix red and translucent clay

  I mixed about 70% red and 30% translucent, add red to translucent slowly until you get the shade you like.

• 

  Step 2

  Make a small cylinder out of your mixed clay.

• 

  Step 3

  Make a long, skinny snake out of black clay, and cut it according to the length of your cylinder. These will be the seeds.

• 

  Step 4

  Place the black snakes on the cylinder, place as many as you'd like.

• 

  Step 5

  Cover the cylinder with a layer of your mixed clay.

• 

  Step 6

  Again make a long skinny black snake and cut several snakes according to the length of your cylinder.

  Place them on your cylinder.

• 

  Step 7

  Again cover your cylinder with your mixed clay.

• 

  Step 8

  If you'd like you can add a layer of a lighter red to add some color contrast.

  I mixed translucent clay and a bit of red.

• 

  Step 9

  To make the outside you can cover the cylinder with just green. Or you could make two snakes with a lighter green and green.

• 

  Step 10

  Cut the snakes according to the length of the cylinder or just place a green layer over your cylinder.

  Don't worry about the snakes not touching as you roll your cylinder to lengthen it, the sides of the snakes will eventually touch.

• 

  Step 11

  TADA!!!!

  Now just roll your cylinder until you get your desired size.

  If your clay got too soft, stick it in the fridge for a few minutes before you slice open your cane.

  **Bake according to directions.

Once I tried doing a very simple sushi cane and I had some problems with cutting, I hope that now, with your fridge advice, I can do this watermelon one without messing all up

I love this How To! Unfortunatley, it didn't turn out so brilliantly when I made my own. But I know where I went wrong, so fingers crossed it'll look better next time
