You can make realistic looking food with polymer clay. In this tutorial I will show you what you will need and how to make some yummy grilled cheese sandwiches. You can create jewelry, miniatures or magnets. Let's gather our supplies and get started.

• Yellow Polymer Clay
• Translucent Polymer Clay
• White Polymer Clay
• Translucent Liquid Sculpey
• Glossy Glaze
• Needle + Sandpaper

Instructions:

1. Start by mixing the white and translucent clays together, use more translucent than white.
2. Roll it out and cut out two equal sized squares to create the bread.
3. Pinch in the corners at the top to shape the soon to be toast.
4. Create texture by stamping the clay with sandpaper.
5. Use a brown pastel to add color to the crust and little bit of brown and light yellow for the center of the toast.
6. Cut each piece diagonally, now using a needle, move it in a circular pattern to create the texture of cut bread on the inside of the sandwich.
7. Bake the toast according to the instructions on the package.
8. While the toast is baking, mix together equals parts of yellow clay with any left over white/translucent clay. Add orange pastel until you reach the desired color of cheese.

12. Spread the "melted cheese” on the square cheese's edge letting a little bit ooze over the side.
