This is a really fun little fall craft that you can put on a side table when you have guests come over. A cute touch to your autumn decor!

Basically all you will need is:

-Some clay tools(or you can choose to use your hands)

-Aluminium Foil

-Polymer Clay

Pumpkins (1)

Create a little hole at the very top for the stem. Then, make a little black tear-drop-ish shaped thing, and insert it into the hole.

Platter (1)

IMG_1245.JPG
Let's make a turkey platter. You will need some white clay and some red clay. First, flatten the white clay out(not all the way, keep it about as thick as about three quarter's thickness high)

From another piece of white clay make two cylindrical shapes of equal size, and attach them to each end of the white tray for handles.

Add whatever designs you want on there! For me I made two really thin strings of red clay and curled the ends of them, and pressed each one onto either side of the tray.

Cranberries (1)

Cranberries taste great with turkey! You will need some red balls and a white ball.

scoop and shave out some clay from inside the bowl to make it hollow enough but at the same time thick enough. Put the cranberries in, and there's you bowlful of cranberries!

Corn on the Cob (1)

IMG_1250.JPG
To make corn you will need a bunch of tiny yellow balls, a white rod and two green rods.

Stick the tiny yellow balls onto the white core(if you can, try to put the smaller ones on the very top and bottom to add to the realism) Put on a little green stem.

Flatten the corn leaves out a bit, then stick 'em onto the corn.

Making a plate is really simple. All you have to do is make a white ball, then squish it a bit between your fingers and voila!

Pumpkin Pie (1)

Let's start with the crust. Make a brown ball then squish it between you fingers.

Pumpkin Pie (2)

Hollow it out to make it into the form of a pie crust.

Make an orange clay ball. Flatten out between your fingers and tuck it into the pie crust. Make little dents at the edges to add to realism. Smooth top. Then, cut out a slice with a knife and put some clay whipped cream on it! If you want to add even more realism, put some tin foil at the bottom of it.

I will be adding more fun harvest foods, so enjoy!

Peas

For the bowl of peas just use the cranberry instructions, except make the balls slightly smaller, and greener:)
