Make Miniature Tadpoles from Polymer Clay In Dolls House Scale

Steps in Creating Tadpoles from Polymer Clay

Lesley Shepherd

• Roll out a thin roll of brown polymer clay to a diameter equal to 1/12 of an inch.
• Use a pin to slice off a 1/8 in. to 1/12 inch slice. This size makes a 1:12 or standard dolls house scale tadpole.
• Roll this slice into a ball.
• Gently roll one side of the ball to elongate this side into a tadpole tail.
• Roll the other side of the ball gently to form a slight point on the ball opposite the tail.
• Use your pin to make a throat for your tadpole by pushing up slightly just in front of the bulge of the main ball. Make 8 or so tadpoles for each jar. (some might not make it to the final stage).

Bake your tadpoles on the tile in a toaster oven or oven according to directions for your polymer clay.
