Easy DIY MINI Plants Using 'Slime' NO BAKE Soft Clay

I Wanted to Use Something Different to Make Miniature Plants Instead of Polymer Clay, Air Drying Clay or Paper. This Clay is Meant to be Used to Make Slime. Room Temperature Might Change the Consistency of the Clay. You Can Try Testing Tiny Pieces First to See How the Clay Behaves (Leave to Dry for a Minute etc.)
I Loved Using the Soft Clay Because of its Texture and it Dried Soft and Flexible. I Used the Clay 'Fresh' and Also After it Had Dried for a While ( It Stayed Malleable but less Sticky ). Finished Leaves I Left to Dry Over Night.
The Clay is Easy to Use and the Stickiness Works Like Glue ( Making the Succulents and the Jade Plant ) but Can be Very Frustrating When you Can't Undo any Mistakes After Sticking Parts Together.
To Paint the Plants, I Used Acrylic Paint. For the Pots / Containers I Used old Bottle Caps and Balsa Wood and Painted with Acrylic Paint and Gold Paint.
To create a Matte and Shiny Plants, I Used Mod Podge Matte and Gloss Finish Sealers.
I Also Used Florist Wire and Florist Tape to Make the Plant Leaves. For the Peace Lily spadix (green or off-white spike of flowers in the Middle of the Flower), I Used Silicone Dental Floss Sticks.

These are lovely but I have to say the silicone tips for the calla lilies was an exceptionally brilliant idea!
Thank you very much! 😄💕
This popped up in my feed somehow and I watched because of the novelty. I've never seen anyone use slime to make flowers - had no idea that was possible because I thought slime was - well, like slime - slippery and wet. So, this must be some kind of new slime because it seemed more like a very soft air dry clay. Now, as an artist, it's clear that you put a LOT of time and work into these flowers and I have to give you credit for that - for trying something new. I'm just not sure that, for me, the slime clay gives the crispness and the level of detail that I would want in my plants. It seems rather thick and pillowy for delicate leaves that are most plants. My favorite of the lot were the succulents, I guess, because they're kind of thick in real life so they translated better with that clay. You def get an A+ for trying something new and being creative.
Thank you! 💕Much appreciate your comment. I do agree that it might not give that crispiness of what you can get from other clays but I do like that it gives the puffiness that other clays don't. I want to give my viewers of all abilities options, so that they can try these things themselves and possibly think of other uses for it. You should check out my video where I make Stargazer lilies from 'Bread and Glue' 😄
I am certainly not an expert and just started making miniatures a year ago. I am still a novice but learning as I go along and loving the mistakes and successes. 😊
These plants are fabulous. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Robyn ❤😊
Thank you Robyn and you are very welcome 😄💕
I don't think I have seen this type of clay before (if I have, I probably assumed it was like plasticene or something) Thanks for showing us all about it, your plants look so great! The plant pots were really cool too
Thank you! 💕💕 I think the clay is meant be used to make slime 😄 I thought I try it as I didn't want to use clay that was messy or needed baking etc. I was so pleasantly surprised how well it worked. I love the texture and It was so much fun to play with 🤣
Those are amazing and I really love the jade plant so much! The Lilly’s are fantastic!
Thank you so much 💕😄 I'm glad you like the plants
These are all beautiful. Looks like it took a lot of patience to do this, but the result is certainly worth your time and effort!
Thank you very much! 💕😊 It was a bit repetitive and fiddly making all the leaves but I really enjoyed using this clay. I think it's meant to be used to make slime 😄
Lo que tu haces esta a otro nivel, que detalles!!!
Esta precioso 💖💕😍
Muchas gracias 💕💕😊
These are just beautiful! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent!
Thank you and you are so welcome😊💕

Gorgeous! Wow! Do you think this same type of no bake clay would do as well for miniature foods - cakes, cookies, etc? Also, after it has dried overnight and is painted, etc., is it quite firm or does it always stay a bit soft/pliable? If it’s firm, does it break easily? Many thanks! Again - beautiful job! Kathleen
Thank you!! 😊💕 Great questions! I think it would work for making food items. I was also thinking of trying to make cakes, pastries etc. (possible video coming up). The clay seems to stay slightly spongy when completely dry. I did bend a couple of the plant leaves but they were flexible and didn't break or change shape so very good really. I also like that fact that after drying, it's still malleable and you can attach the fresh clay to it. I just can't remember for how long I left the clay to dry 🤔 possibly 30 mins to an hour. Depending of course of the thickness of the clay. The clay is also very light. I really enjoyed using this clay and will use it again. I'm also thinking of trying different paints/Mica powder/ink etc. and see how they work. Hope this helps and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask 💕💕
@@tinycraftlife thanks so much! I think I may give it a try as I just can’t seem to master the right “baking time” for Fimo, etc. Thanks again! Looking forward to your next video! Kathleen
@@papabear2515 You are more than welcome Kathleen! 💕It's definitely worth trying. I also struggle with polymer clay.
These are amazing. Your anthurium turned out so real looking! Where did you get that “slime” clay? I might try making plants with Cosclay polymer clay. It stays flexible after baking and can be painted. I made some plants with masking tape, glue and green permanent markers. They turned out pretty well, but I have to make a ton more plants. I’ll try anything at least once. I’d like to give your method a try. Nice job!
Thank you very much 😄💕 I found the clay on Amazon UK website and the brand is called Original Stationery Soft Clay. I was surprised that it worked as well as it did. There are many other brands too but not sure if they are similar to this soft clay.
❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much 💕😄
Magnificent!
Thank you so much! 💕😊
Beautiful! You have alot of patience and a very steady hand.
Thank you very much! 💕 it did take a lot of patience 😄
I actually have some of this so I will give it a try, thank you yet again❤
You are more than welcome 💕💕 I was really surprised how well this clay worked. I just wanted to try something that didn't make a mess or needed baking etc. I think it might work well for making miniature food. Might be a future video 🤔
Beautiful where do you get the clay from if you don't mind me asking 😊
@@kellydixon9954 Thank you very much! 😄💕 I found this exact one on the Amazon UK website but there are a lot of other Soft clay brands. I haven't used any others yet so I don't know how good they are.
Plantas miniaturas lindas,lindas, lindas! Trabalho lindo! Parabéns! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Muito obrigado e obrigado por assistir! 💕😊
Can't wait to try this...the dried clay seems to take the paint well, allowing more detail. Thank you.
You are very welcome! 😊💕It really was a surprise using this clay. I think it's meant to be used to make slime 😄 I like the fact that the paint seeped in the grooves and gave the leaves more dimension. I used acrylic paint but also diluted the paint with water. I assume other paints or even ink might work as well. I did seal the leaves with mod podge after painting as I noticed small parts of the paint had come off.
you are an artist! Thank you a lot for sharing.
Thank you so much and you are very welcome 💕😊
Very well done 👍🏻 the details are amazing, loved watching every second of it, thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you so much and you are very welcome 💕😄
Theses are beautiful. I know you mentioned that its air dry clay. What brand is it that you use? I've never seen clay that acts like that when it's stretched or kneaded.
Thank you so much 💕😊 I used clay called Soft Clay. It is made for children to make slime with. No baking required. The brand I used is; Original Stationery Soft Clay. I bought mine from Amazon UK website. There are many different Soft Clay brands but I don't know if they would work the same way. I assume they would.
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯❤❤❤
Thank you💕😊
Wonderful I really enjoyed that what paint were you using other than acrylic?
Thank you! 💕😊 I only used acrylic paint but I did use water to dilute it when I painted the first layers
I was worried when you started doing the succulents. You pulled it off.
😄💕Thank you! Although the green one looks like lettuce 🤣
I can’t make anything small with mine, they just make spider webs all over
I also did get those spider webs. Not sure if the temperature makes a difference? Maybe you can test and let a tiny piece of clay dry for a moment before using it. That might help a bit 💕
