The middle of September reminds me the camping season is going to be coming to a close soon. There are only a few good weeks yet to get out and enjoy camping in the outdoors. When it gets too cold to camp it also means that s'more season has come to a end. (Yes, I know you can make them in microwaves, ovens and even over a fireplace, but it just isn't the same). In honer of this little treat, I made some s'more earrings out of polymer clay. These earrings are very durable and look great by the light of a campfire.
Materials:
- Light brown polymer clay
- Dark brown polymer clay
- White polymer clay
- Earring findings
- Small paint brush
Directions:
- Make four small squares out of the light brown clay for the graham crackers. With the back end of the paintbrush make three rows of three indents on each of the graham crackers.
- Make two squares of chocolate using the dark brown clay.
- Make two white circles out of white clay. This will be the marshmallow.
- Assemble your two s'mores. (graham cracker with poked side face down, chocolate, marshmallow, graham cracker with poked side face up).
- Insert earring findings into the s'more.
- Bake at the temperature and time for your clay.
There is even a book that has s'mores in its title! S is for S'mores: A Camping Alphabet Book by Helen Foster James has great illustrations along with interesting camping facts for a camper of any age. Another take on the s'mores earrings would be to make them a little bigger and hang them off clothes pins to make some weights to hold your table cloths down while you are camping.
