Hi! Here I'll be showing you my method for making a polymer clay ice cream cone. I like to mix liquid sculpey with clay when making ice cream, I feel it creates an ice cream like texture. If you'd like to see this in video form, please click the video above :)

You will need:

Polymer Clay

Translucent Liquid Sculpey

Cornstarch

Ruler

Stylus or toothpick

Wire*

Wire cutters*

Round nose pliers*

*If you have eye pins, you don't need these :)

Step 1: Prepare the Clay for the Cone

If you already have a package of clay that is the right color, condition the clay until it is soft and pliable.

If not, mix together different colors of clay until you have the right color. I used a combination of white, yellow, orange, and brown.

Set this aside when you're done.

Step 2: Create a Mold for the Cone

Using any color of clay (if you have scrap clay, this is a great use for it), flatten a ball until it is a fairly even thickness.

Next, press the edge of the ruler into the clay, creating horizontal lines.

Then use the ruler to create lines going the opposite direction.

Bake this for the time and temperature on the clay package.

Step 3: Create the Cone

Put cornstarch onto the baked mold to keep the clay from sticking to it.

Use a small amount of the clay and roll it into a ball, then press it onto the mold.

Carefully peel it off the mold and shape it into a cone shape. Try to press on it as little as possible, as this will take away the waffle cone texture.
