ENGLISH MUFFINS

To make the english muffins, start by printing out the printable that I've made. Cut out the circle printable and set it aside.

Take your air dry clay, and shape it into a biscuit-shape. If you're wondering, I used homemade clay and colored it so I didn't have to paint it light tan later. Then, let it air dry or bake it.

Once your clay has dried, use the soft-bristled brush to paint the whole thing light tan. If you're using a matte paint, you'll need to mix it with mod podge before painting anything. Also, if you don't have a light tan, mix white with a little bit of brown and yellow. 

Once the paint has dried, paint the top of the english muffin light brown. I just added a bit more brown to the tan color so I didn't waste paint.

Then, take the hard-bristled brush and put a little bit of white or very light tan on it and flick the paint onto the top of the muffin.

If you want an opened english muffin, cut the shape in half before drying. Then, take a hard-bristled brush or toothbrush and a small paintbrush end to texture the inside so it looks like the muffin was broken apart. Paint this the same way as the closed muffins; and add some color to the inside of the clay so it looks realistic.

For extra protection, seal the muffins with Mod podge. This will make them last much longer. Once everything is dry, you have your english muffins! 

ENGLISH  MUFFIN BOX

To make the english muffin box, start by taking the box printable and cutting it out. Be sure to cut off the corners as well. The printable shows you where to cut, so don't worry. 

Next, glue the printable to the patterned side of the cardboard. Score on all the lines and fold into a box shape. Glue or tape the tabs to the inside of the box. If desired, seal with Mod podge. 

To make the plastic wrapping, take the plastic and fold it out flat. Just to note, the piece I'm using is about 7 x 9 inches.

 Put the box on one side and fold the other half over. Glue the ends together. Cut off any excess plastic. Repeat for the back of the plastic.

Now you should have a plastic wrap to go over the box. Tie the open end together with a twisty-tie, rubberband, or unfolded paper clip.

Put the muffins inside and now your doll has english muffins!
