DIY Mini Banana Toy Tutorial

Miniature toys are not only fun to make, but they can also be great for decorations or gifts. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of making a mini banana toy using simple materials.

• Yellow polymer clay
• Green polymer clay
• Craft knife
• Rolling pin
• Baking tray
• Oven (for baking clay)

Start by kneading the yellow polymer clay to make it soft and pliable. Roll it into a small cylinder shape to form the body of the banana. Then, shape one end into a rounded tip and the other end into a flat base.

Take a small piece of green polymer clay and roll it into a thin snake-like shape. Flatten it slightly and attach it to the top of the banana to create the stem.

Use a craft knife to gently score the surface of the banana to create the characteristic ridges. Be careful not to cut too deep to avoid damaging the shape of the banana.

Preheat your oven according to the instructions on your polymer clay package. Place the banana toy on a baking tray and bake it according to the recommended time and temperature. Allow it to cool completely before handling.

Your mini banana toy is now ready! You can use it as a cute decoration, a keychain, or a gift for a friend who loves bananas.

• Experiment with different shades of yellow and green clay to create realistic-looking bananas.
• You can add a small eye screw before baking the clay to turn your mini banana into a charm or pendant.
• Seal the finished toy with a coat of clear varnish for added durability.

Have fun creating your mini banana toy and let your creativity shine!
