Faux Marshmallows / Summer Picnic Campfire Vignette


Hi Friends!

Just about everyone loves s'more on a summer night

am I right ?




I know I'm silly with the faux food sometimes!

This was a fun one-



You only need a some air dry clay and a skewer or stick.

I had brown clay but I will be painting my marshmallows.



Take a pinch of clay. Roll between your hands

 and flatten the ends

 to make your shape.

If you want your marshmallows to look realistic, roll them smooth.

use white clay or paint them white. 




Pushed them onto the stick to create a hole.

Then removed them so they could completely dry

before painting.

You can leave them on the stick to dry if you are using white clay.



I painted them white let them dry and then glued

them on a rustic stick.



I wanted my marshmallows to be a nice golden brown....

even though I like to eat mine burnt all the way around!!!!

I mixed a few colors-




They look real so I'm a happy camper!



This plaid picnic tin was a thrift store find.

I use it to store all my patriotic decorations.

It gave me chance to share some of my red white and blue

thermos collection.




Just put the sticks inside a thermos and tin-





The faux 'Sparkler Boxes' are here





Let's party S' MORE !

Happy 4TH of July-

  5. You know I love anything "fake bake"! I have some faux marshmallows that I did the same way, and also used a cookie mold to make fake s'mores. Featuring you at Wednesdays in the Studio!
