Delicious Hot Dog Dangles

For this post I will be showing you how to make Delicious Hot Dog Dangles.These delightful delicacies are adorable, and unlike their appearance, super sweet.This post is dedicated to my little brother, Xander, because his favorite food is a hot dog with ketchup, and sometimes mustard.

Here's what you'll need:

Two balls of golden clay, about the same size                                                                                  

A tiny ball of yellow scrap clay(optional)
Two relatively small balls of reddish-orangish clay
A ball of dark red scrap clay(optional)
A pair of scissors
A spool of wire(thin)
Two dangle hooks

First take both your pieces of golden clay,
and roll them into 2 balls.

Then squish down the balls to form 2 pancake shapes.

They should look like this.

Pinch both sides of one of your golden pancakes to form the 

hot dog roll.Repeat with other pancake. 

Now take your balls of reddish-orangish clay,
and roll them into 2 balls,
 if you haven't done that already.

Roll the balls out into 2 snakes each about an inch and a half long,
so they're about the same size as the hot dog rolls.

Gently slide the hot dog meat into the hot dog roll.

Repeat with other snake and roll.

If you want to make ketchup or mustard, follow the following steps very closely.
Take either your dark red or yellow balls of scrap clay,
and roll them into 2 balls.

Roll your balls of scrap clay out into 2 long thin snakes.

Next, press curves into your snake so it looks like a mustard or ketchup drizzle.
Repeat with other snake.

They should look like this.

Press the yellow or red drizzle to middle of the hot dog.
Repeat with other drizzle and hot dog.

Use your scissors to cut 2 pieces of wire from your spool
that are about 2 inches long, and thread them through your dangle hooks.

Next, twist the one side of your wire around the other.
Push the wire into the top of you hot dog.
Repeat with other wire.

Bake, and wear. These tasty trinkets make fantastic party favors
and gifts.These delicious dangles can put a smile on your face whenever and wherever you go.

Super simple lily pad clips

For this post, I will show you how to make Super simple lily pad clips.These Flowery delights take the least amount of time out of all my posts so far.These are really simple and easy to make, and like I said, they don't require a lot of time.

Here's what you'll need: 

• 1 scraping tool
• 1 cutting tool 
• a small  ball of yellow clay
• a relatively big ball of green clay 
• a relatively big ball of white clay 
• one clip                                                               

First, take your ball of green clay...

...and squish it down to create a green pancake.

It should look like this.

Take your cutting tool and cut a little triangle on the edge of the pancake to create a pacman shape.

It should look something like this.

Next, take your ball of white clay and stick your thumb into the center of the ball, tocreate a white cup shape.

Pinch around the edges of  the white cup shape.

This is the basic lily shape.

If you flip over the basic lily shape, it should look some what like this.

Now take your yellow ball of clay,and roll it into a small cone shape.

It should look like this.

Press the fat end of your yellow cone shape to the center of the upside of the basic lily shape.

Now, take your scratching tool and gently press the tips of the scraping tool to make small dots on the yellow center of the  flower.
You might want to take the center of the flower of for this.

It should look like this.

Next, press the lily onto the lily pad.

Finally, press the lily and lily pad onto your clip. Tweezing Tip:You might want a bigger clip than the one I used for this post.

Bake and wear!
These tiny trinkets aren't as pretty as the real thing, but they are still beautiful in every respect.

Author's note: it is a better idea to bake the lilypad before attaching to the clip with your choice of glue.another option is to attach it to the clip before baking, but to attach with sculpey bake and bond adhesive.
