You can draw a flower in the center of the pot, then leave the plate to harden in the air or bake in the oven (this is described in the instructions for a particular polymer clay).
Made of cardboard
On the wrong side of the cardboard, draw a circle as large as you want it to be the size of the bottom of the plate. Draw a larger circle around this blank. Cut out the resulting ring that sits between the large and small circle.

How to make food for dolls?
Check out how wonderful this lemon cake looks. Its great advantage is not only in its excellent appearance, but also in the fact that you can play with it for a long time. After all, this dessert is made of polymer clay, which is quite durable.
Do not give such items for play to small children, it is difficult to explain to them that this is not a real cake and cannot be tasted by the teeth. Before making food for this kind of dolls, you need to take:
- polymer clay of the required colors;
- toothpicks;
- stationery knife;
- rolling pin.
Let's start with the decoration. To make lemons, use white, yellow and light yellow clay. Roll out of these three pieces into a circle.
Now take a light yellow clay and cut this piece with a clerical knife into 6 equal pieces. Roll a sausage out of each.
Next, use white clay, which you need to knead in your hands and roll out into a thin layer. Put the first yellow sausage on it, roll this roll.
Thus, arrange all the yellow sausages, give the shape of a drop with a knife. Now roll a rope out of white polymer clay, it will become the centerpiece. Attach the decorated six slices to it.
It is necessary to wrap the resulting beauty, first in white, and then in a yellow layer of polymer clay.
It's time to make the cakes themselves. To do this, roll out a circle of white, brown and yellow polymer clay. Roll out thick cakes from them, place one on top of the other.
To make the doll cake further, you need to tackle the lemon shavings. To do this, you need to chop a hard piece of clay into shavings with a sharp knife, then roll the sides of the cake in it, attaching this decoration with your fingers.
Roll the white plastic onto thin sausages, roll them up with a tourniquet and bend them in the form of roses, decorating the cake with this makeshift cream.
To make the lemon cut well, put it in the freezer for half an hour. Then it will be easy to chop this sausage into thin slices, which you will do.
Place them on the surface of the cake, decorate with shavings of brown rough clay, and admire with your child what a wonderful food for the dolls turned out.
Place this masterpiece in the freezer for 30 minutes, then it will be easy to cut into wedges.
To see how fluffy the dough is, carefully make a few holes on one side of the piece and then on the other. Following the polymer clay instructions, leave this culinary masterpiece to air-dry or bake in the oven.
And here's how to make food for dolls from another pliable material.
Salted dough
To make such baked goods, you will need:
- salty dough;
- bottle molds and lids;

Roll out the salted dough with a rolling pin. Make several flagella from the same plastic material. The largest one will become the sides of the pie. Decorate the edges of this product with it. Smaller flagella create a beautiful crate.
Cut out cookies from the rolled salted dough with tins; the remnants of this material will make wonderful closed pies.
- Here's how to make food for dolls to look like bagels. Roll out the salted dough cake into a thin circle, cut it in half first, each half into three more pieces.
- In each of these triangles, you need to wrap a small sausage from the dough, then form a bagel. To do this, this triangle must be rolled, starting from the edge, towards the corner.
- Using yellow or light brown pastels, add color to the bagels by coloring them. Dip each one in coarse salt as if it were sugar.
You can cut a few pies into pieces, then bake all this wealth in the oven to dry the dough.
To make the open cakes more realistic, paint the gaps between the flagella with dark red stained glass paints. Mix white acrylic and acrylic varnish, paint the cookies on top with this "icing".
You can decorate the cookies with colorful beads, then you need to put the pastries in a box and decorate the table for dolls with it. Salted dough fruit can also be found here. Create them from the remnants of this material.
Blind apples and bananas with the children, paint them with gouache of the desired color, then varnish.
A bar of chocolate will also come in handy. To do it, take:
