How to make doll minirature forks, knives, and spoons tutorial


Alright guys it's my first tutorial! This tutorial will show you how to make doll utensils easy :)
You will need:


  • Floral Craft wire ((inexpensive and easy to cut with scissors and easy to shape))
  • Polymer Clay or cornstarch clay((anything that hardens and keeps it shape really I used polymer clay))
  • Pliers
  • scissors
  • Oven
  • Ball tool OR a bobby pin bent straight
  • Optional: Sliver paint and other colors
Note: Please craft at your own risk and use an adult if you lolz "Need an adult"
The fork:
First cut four individual pieces of wire like so and grasp them like so anddd..

Twist the ends together leaving four untwisted, leaving a lot of excess to resize later
just like this!! :D

now take your pliers and bend it so its fork shaped

just like this so it looks like a rake
Nextif the fun part, bend the long side of the fork so it's thick size to fit and remove excess with scissors
It should look something like this when you do this. Already fork-like right?
You should keep in mind if the fork..sprung thingies get too close I just slid a piece of paper through it to reshape it to look the way I want, straight and neater. 
Cover with polymer clay or cornstarch and your done! Its ready to be baked!
Now...
The Spoon:
The spoon is a little bit easier, instead of cutting a bunch of individual wires you are going to cut one reallllyyy long piece of wire fold it in half but leave room to make a spoon shaped hole when you twist it leaving a hole like so..
Just like the fork, you are going to fold the ends to make it thick and to adjust the size to your doll, then cut off excess. 
here is me folding it so u can see a little better on how its done.

this is what your spoon should look like now take your pliers and bend it slightly and add your polymers clay or cornstarch clay
Almost done!!!
Finish adding clay to cover the wires completely
Now take your ball tool, if you don't have one I just use the ends of a booby pen that I bent straight


FINISHEDD!! :D Ha, now it has a spoon dip.
ready to bake! On to the next...
The Knives:
this will be much shorter because i believe by now you have the concept down.
the knife is just like the spoon. Exceptttt. You must shape the hole left more oval-like and kinda pointy like here.
Cover with Polymers clay or cornstarch clay and its ready to be baked with the rest of the doll utensils.
 Now optional:
You can choose to leave how it looks when it baked OR you can add some paint!
Now you don't have to use pink like I did, I just love pink and later I'm going to paint strawberries on it. Now for you to try, I'd love to see your pictures on 
instragram: type in @Seasonalfrostbite so I can see :D or
Hopefully you guys will be much neater then me.
Anyways that's all for now see you soon!
