The other day I was commissioned to make some angelic pretty melty chocolate themed charms and put them on clips. It was fate because I’ve had them on my to do list to make charms.

Here is how they turned out

and here is how I packaged them and sent them on their way to france. I hope the customer likes them.

I’ll probably be making some of the other desserts in other prints so that people can really match their dresses.

Im open to commissions as well for items made of polymer clay and other crafts. I can make anything in any size and scale and make them into things like pendants, rings, charms or anything you can think of.

My snowman has been living in my working quarters unbaked for quite some time now. His happy little face is so much fun to look at.

Here he is “unbaked still” playing in the snow. There is nothing happier than a chocolate snowman laying in the snow because he knows he wont melt from either being a snowman or chocolate “clay”.

*Please ignore the fact his bowtie is horrid and his lack of arms

He was finally baked today and now there should be no more worries about damages he might receive from being smushed or randomly dropped from my craft table. He does have a little ware and tare but he is rather cute non the less I think.

This is really like part 2 because I did make a previous tutorial on using puff paint as icing but in that tutorial I realized I used older puff paint so it came out harder and not as fluid. So I wanted to make this tutorial to show you the true texture of puff paint and how it can be used to make delicious deco sauce or melting ice cream and other cool effects.

So lets get started.

Materials Needed

• Puff Paint
• Item to cover in puff paint

Step 1:  Take your puff paint and your item u want to cover. I used Scribbles 3D Paint and the color is called Hot Chocolate so its fitting that I make a melting chocolate effect with it. Yum

Step 2: Think about the pattern you want to create.

*I want to make it look like the chocolate is dripping and melting of the candy bar. I really should have the chocolate look like it had a bite taken out of it and then put the melting chocolate there but oh well lol maybe next time I think you get the point.

Step 3: Since this puff paint has a fine tip like an icing tip as you can see in the picture below its easy to pipe and make a melting dripping effect. Just squeeze the bottle in the shape that you want it to go on. It is pretty thick so you can let it dry vertically and it wont mess up.

You can also make it look like deco sauce

and there you go, a super easy and cheap way to make melting effect on your candy and ice creams. If you have any questions leave me a comment and I hope this tutorial was helpful.

I do have a part 2 of this tutorial that will show you how to make the chocolate with glue. So make sure to check back for that one.

Happy Crafting

Tulip Gellies come in all assorted colors. I like to buy the clear one because I have so many paints at home I just add in whatever color I want and I can make any color gel. The clear tulip gellie is opaque at first but dries clear. You can add in any paint to change the color, if you want a more translucent appearance just add in like one drop.

This is how Clear Tulip Gellie looks

This is how Tulip Gellie looks mixed in with a few drops of paint, I added way too many drops so it wont be translucent anymore.

This is how Tulip Gellie looks totally mixed up

It takes about 24 – 48 hours to dry depending on the thickness level you use. When dry this has a raised thick look. It does not dry flat like paint, so its great when you want a slight raised effect on your crafts.

Now you have your own jelly consistency Deco sauce. You can use this on just about any surface and its super cheap to make. Try it with brown to make fake hot fudge sauce, or red for strawberry/ raspberry jelly, caramel, you can make so many different types of fake gelatins or even puddings. This is a really fun item.

Here is how Tulip Gellie looks when dried VS. when paint is dried. I wanted you to see that the Tulip Gellie has that thick creamy consistency and paint just dries flat.

Here is some Tulip Gellie on some of my whipped cream dollops

and I covered a Snow-Tex topped clay charm with the Tulip Gellie I made

I initially thought I put too much paint and it wouldnt be translucent when dried but it came out really well. It was slightly translucent and you could see the colors underneath a bit. In real life it looks much better than the pictures captured the texture.

I hope you give it a try and that this tutorial was helpful. Happy Crafting
