- In this video I will be making mini plates and bowls using air dry clay. They would be perfect for room boxes, dioramas and dollhouses. You can make them big or small to fit the scale you need. I am making mine 1/16 scale. I am using Das paper clay. Its the only brand I have ever tried. I am pretty sure any brand of air dry clay would work. I have some very basic tools that I once tried polymer clay with. I wasn't very succesful making plates and bowls with polymer clay. I have better luck with air dry clay. Even though they are wonky, irregular and sometimes chipped, I am very happy with them.
Supplies I used:
Das paper clay
chalk pastels
fine sand paper or nail file
Diamond Glaze
Polymer clay circle cutters, polymer rolling pin (optional)
large ball stylus (optional)

For some reason ive had it in my head that plates would be really hard to make……these look simple to make and look wonderful!
@@carrie4910 Thanks! They are really simple this way. Hardest part for me is waiting for them to dry. 😆
They look great!! I really like the color you chose! Thanks for sharing!!😀
@@southerncooker6475 I thought everyone might enjoy a little break from all the wood tones.😆
Wabisabi. Finding beauty in imperfection. Your dishes are lovely. 💖✝

They look terrific--very authentic. I'm going to give this a try. Thank you!
@@suecox2308 Thank you! Glad you like them! 😁
Can't wait for the video to make the hutch your work is amazing
@@corinnaakin2651 Aww Thank you! 😊
Those are adorable and each has its own personality! How special that you have your grandmother's chalk pastels, such a treasure. You are correct, waiting for the clay to dry is the hardest part😊
@@kathleenherris9397 Thank you! 😊 Luckily I have several things of hers. They are for sure little treasures!
Love the way using pastels gave the pieces so much character!
@@mariab8668 Me too! It almost looks like watercolor.
Precious! I love how you added color to them.
@@queencityminis Thanks Shyra! Thought everyone would enjoy a break from all the brown. 😆
They are delightful cute little plates...I've never used paper clay I always use Fimo in miniature food..I do have air dry clay, lots of different cutters so I might find time and give it a go...thank you for a lovely video. I always look forward to them..❤ UK 🇬🇧
@@mytinyminis Sounds like you have everything you need. 😊 Hopefully you give them a go. Thank you so much for watching! 💗
They came out so cute and I really like the different tones of beautiful pink from your Grandmother's chalks! ♥
@@supertinywhimsilistic Aww thank you so much! 😊 Me too!!💗
They all look gorgeous, making my own plates and dishes is something I want to do, tfs this great tutorial x Julie 🇬🇧
@@juliederry3719 Thank you Julie! I hope you give them a try. It’s so fun and rewarding to make things yourself. ☺️
I think they look wonderful!
@@jenpink4298 I’m so happy you enjoyed them! 😊
These are all so cute, and I love the pink, also!
@@agm97ga Thank you! Thought I should give everyone a break from brown. 😆
They’re pretty. In the UK I’ve seen quite a few dinner service sets which are designed as wobbly and irregular; very trendy 😊
@@hagstoneshouses That’s so cool! 💗 I didn’t even know I was being trendy! 😊 I would love to own some of those dinner sets!
Those turned out really nice! I too struggle with clay and am wanting to make some dishes. I am not sure what type of clay l will use. It made me smile when I saw you were coloring them pink, I have a pink dish set. I never thought of using chalk pastels for decorating. They look shiny like you coated them, if so, what did you use? Thank you for the tips on working with the air dry clay. The little hutch is so cute, can't wait to see you make that!
I heard her say Diamond Glaze, which I haven’t used yet but I think it gives a very shiny coating 😊
@@MiniatureMadnessofcherylg2696 Yes I used Diamond Glaze. It only took one coat and they are super shiny! I just Love that stuff! That’s so cool you have a pink set of dishes. My favorite thing about the chalk pastels is how they color without being so heavy like paint.
@@Lauras-tinyview I love Diamond Glaze. The shine is amazing.
I just remembered that playing cards are really good for getting uniform thickness in clay, you can make alterations by adding or removing cards in each stack.
@@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws That’s a fantastic tip! You can get any thickness you need that way. Thank you for sharing!
I use terracotta Milliput for all my flower pots and earthenware lamps etc as it is really easy to work with and takes around an hour to set like stone. I don't know if you are sensitive to epoxy clay, but I've never had any problems except turning my hands terracotta colour (or whichever colour you use...white seems softer than the others but all of them can be painted and you could wear gloves, however any colouring on your hands washes off right away. I love it because I always mess up polymer clay and this does the job without the oven....when I say sets like stone it really does but I believe it can be cut, sanded, just about everything but your plates are pretty much unbreakable when it sets. I started using it to make miniature saddle trees and its just got so many uses I always end up sounding like an ad! Great idea Laura keeping sanding dust and small bits to make clay slip for joining things! The chalk pastels are perfect on the dishes, I have a ton of chalk pastels because I occasionally modify and repaint model horses and chalk pastels are the best possible medium for building realistic coat colours. You simply can't get the same gradations of colours with paints, I suppose with an airbrush but chalk pastels are my go-to medium for horses and doll faces. (Watercolour pencils too for faces and, like the horses, in many many layers sprayed with Mr.SuperClear after every layer. Its torture if dust or something lands on it halfway through!
@@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws I’ve heard of milliput before although I’ve never used it. Does it have any kind of odor? I really like the idea of no oven and quick dry times. Thanks for telling me about your experience with milliput.
I don't remember it having an odour, if it does, its slight because normally if something has a distinct smell, I remember. So I would say no.
@@AnneAndersonFoxiepawsGood to know. Thanks!
So sweet 😍👍🏻
Thank you!! 😊
Brilliant
@@cindydickson3379 Thank you! 😊
I have used my dehydrator on a low setting to speed up the drying process. It took about 2 hours but was a lot bigger. You can use a oven to just use the low setting.
Thank you for sharing! Great tips. I didn’t think about a dehydrator. I bet if I did them in the oven maybe an hour? Do you think?
@@Lauras-tinyview I think it should work.. just use a low setting.
❤❤❤
@@Andrea_Make-it-your-own Thanks Andrea! 💗
How hardy are they when they are dry? They look so fine and delicate, I'd be paranoid about breaking them. You did such a beautiful job making them
Thank you! They seem pretty hardy. I tapped them on the table pretty hard and even tried to break one in half with normal pressure. I’m sure if I really wanted to I could break it but it would take a lot of force I’m sure. I have some that I pressed pretty thin. They would probably break easier. But with just normal handling and even dropping they aren’t fragile. I use Das paper clay.
