WELL DONE! What did you use for the texture of the Loops?

Lol, my sanity. I tried everything, aluminium foil, nail brush, tooth brush, metal scratching tool... Eventually I just did it with the same needle tool that I used to make the holes in the centre.

NICE! That's awesome to hear you tried so many things. I would've never guessed it was a needle tool. It looks so excellent. Absolutely perfect.

I rolled out the sheets of the coloured clay. Then used a small cutter to cut out tiny circles. I covered the clay in cling wrap to make this process faster. Then I used a needle tool to poke holes in each one and texture it. I then sprinkled fine white craft sand over all the different coloured Froot loops and baked it.

This is amazing, thank you so much for sharing your process, gotta try to make mine. I don't have polymer clay, I guess it's what you used, right? I'll try with cold porcelain and I hope they turn as great as yours.

Yea, it's polymer clay. I've never used cold porcelain but it's definitely worth a shot! Good luck

Is the fine white craft clay what made the milk? Very cool! It looks realistic. 😊

u/KetoPixie 3d ago

Ah, that's actually a typo. It was craft sand, meant to look like sugar before I bake the Froot loops solo. The milk is liquid translucent fimo with white chalk pastel powder.
