Hello!
I found air-dry clay at the Dollar Tree.
It looks like it's a terra cotta color
I wanted to test it out-
I immediately thought about cinnamon rolls....
Who doesn't love cinnamon rolls year-round ?
I cut the moist slab of clay
in half lengthwise and rolled it out
with a rolling bin wrapped in parchment paper.
I rolled it into one large cinnamon roll.
It was easy to roll.
The edges were smoothed out
with a little water and fingertips.
It dried overnight-
The clay is dense and weighty-
No cracking.
I painted the swirls with Matte Mod Podge and real cinnamon.
I decided to paint the clay with acrylic paint.
I used white paint for the icing and let it drip over the sides.
After the paint dried, I went over just the icing with
GLOSSY Mod Podge.
The icing stayed glossy.
It looked real to me-
A delicious paper weight!
I enjoy making faux foods- it really fools the eye!
This clay was a win!
Definitely worth a try.
An 8 oz. package made 1 extra large roll or
could easily make
4 mini rolls.
Have a great week!
