How to Make a Clay Burger

Burgers made out of polymer clay are often used as accessories for small dolls and model settings for things such as restaurants or model homes. Clay burgers also can be turned into earrings and any other piece of jewelry you see fit. Much like regular burgers, polymer clay burgers also must be cooked in order to be finished properly.

Instructions

    • 1

      Roll out a small piece of tan clay, cutting a small circle out with one of the round cutters you have to make the bottom bun. Cut an additional piece of tan clay using the same cutter, making your top bun with this piece. Make sure the two pieces are even in thickness before continuing.

    • 2

      Shape the two pieces with your fingers to make a half-dome shape to simulate the look of a real burger bun.

    • 3

      Brush a toothbrush against the bottom sides of the bun to create a natural textured look like a real bun.

    • 4

      Ground the light brown pastel you have back and forth until a small pile of pastel powder is created.

    • 5

      Dab your small paintbrush in the pastel powder, placing it on the top and bottom bun to create a browning effect.

    • 6

      Roll out the brown clay, cutting a patty out using a round cutter.

    • 7

      Put small indentations into the entire bun, using your stylus tool to give it a ground beef effect.

    • 8

      Roll the green clay as flat as you can, tearing off tiny pieces with your hands to act as the lettuce.

    • 9

      Roll out the red clay, cutting three thin circles and indenting the tops of the circles to look like tomatoes.

    • 10

      Roll out the yellow clay, using your slicer to cut a square for the cheese.

    • 11

      Assemble your burger in any order you like, placing your burger in the oven at 275 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes once it is done.
