DIY Donut Paper Weight

This is a simple guide to make a paper weight. Follow 10 steps to make a cute DIY Donut Paper weight!

To make a Donut paper weight you will need:

• Air drying clay (I used Daiso clay)
• Polymer clay (I used FIMO)
• Paintbrushes
• Acrylic paint. The colours: pink, light brown, dark brown, white and any other vibrant colours you wish to use.
• A palette
• White glue.
• Water
• Sculpting tools (basically a knife used to cut clay)
• Scissors *OPTIONAL

• Take some air drying clay and roll it into a ball.
• Flatten the shape using the palm of your hand.
• Use a little bit of water to smoothen out the donut.

• Use a pencil or paintbrush to make a hole in the middle of the donut.
• Make the hole bigger until your shape looks like a donut.

• Roll out a piece of air drying clay (Daiso isn't the best for this so i suggest using some other brand)
• Drape the piece on top of the donut
• Cut a hole in the centre where the middle of the donut is.
• Cut around the edges.

• Roll out another circle.
• Cut out large drips on the edges.You should get a shape that looks like the one in the picture.
• Drape the icing onto the donut and 'glue' it on using water.

• Take a piece of polymer clay roll in into a long snake.
• Use a sculpting tool or a pair of scissors to cut the 'snake' into small pieces. These are the sprinkles.
• Place the sprinkles on some tin foil and let them harden in the oven for maximum 20 minutes at 230 F/110
• Paint the sprinkles in different colours to make classic donut rainbow sprinkles.

• To make the base colour, mix together dark brown, light brown and some white. Add some glue to the paint to ensure that it sticks to the clay.
• Take a paintbrush and paint the base of the donut (including the inside)

• For the icing, mix some glue into pink paint.
• Take a brush and paint the icing.
• When the pink paint is still wet, place the sprinkles on the icing.

• Once the paint is completely dry, take some Mod Podge and paint over the whole donut to seal it in.

Tadaaaaaaa!!!!!

Your DIY Donut paper weight is finished.
