DIY Polymer Clay Toadstools (for fairy gardens)

They are also SUPER easy to make with polymer clay – and you can make these DIY polymer clay toadstools in ANY COLOR, so if your fairies are extra whimsical, don’t feel like you have to stick to the traditional red! These are a great way to add color to your fairy garden if most of the plants you have chosen are green!

You can also make these fairy garden toadstools any size, so regardless of if you’re placing them in a tea-cup or a wheelbarrow or a huge garden, you can build them to size.

I had honestly never made anything out of polymer clay but I knew I wanted to get into making my own cute fairy garden accessories (because let’s be honest, if you develop a fairy garden addiction like I have, those cute tiny things can get kind of expensive), and polymer clay seemed like it would be a lot of fun (AND IT IS!).

Supplies you will use to make polymer clay toadstools:

white polymer clayred polymer clay – (or any other colors of clay you’d like to use) – craft wire (could substitute stick pins) – ball tool (or marbles) – liquid bakeable clay (or white glue)

Remember, you can make the toadstools in any color! I personally just wanted to stick to red and white for this batch but I plan to do some bright blue, yellow, green and pink soon! (I’ll add a photo when they’re done.)

1) Choose your colors!

I rolled tiny logs of white and inserted short pieces of craft wire into the centers of them. (I wanted to be able to place the toadstools into the dirt of the fairy gardens).

2) Create the stems

For this, I used a ball tool (you’ll want on of these on hand – or even an assortment of different sized ball tools, if you’ll be creating many things with polymer caly) and pressed a little ball of red clay over the top of it.

3) Create the mushroom cap shape

I pinched off tiny specks of white clay and pressed them onto the mushroom cap. (You’d be surprised how tiny I mean. Start small and you can add more if your spots aren’t big enough, but I bet they will be.)

4) Add the toadstool spots
