💡 Pro Crafter Secrets

• Take it Farther: Try making more things to go with your hummus—pita chips, bell pepper slices, or even teensy sculpted pine nuts to sprinkle on top!
• Bake your carrots and hummus dish together at 200°F (93°C) for around 5 minutes.

Step #1

Mix some softened beige polymer clay with white liquid polymer clay in a clean bottle cap using a toothpick. You may need to add more white liquid clay or small bits of softened yellow clay to get the right creamy hummus color.

💡

Pro Crafter Tip: Compare before and after adding white/yellow tint to achieve a realistic creamy dip tone.

Step #3

Roll white clay into a ball, flatten it, and turn up the edges slightly to form a shallow dish. Spoon your "hummus" into the dish and embed a carrot stick. Lightly smooth with your finger, then use the toothpick and carrot to "unsmooth" the surface for realistic dip swirls!

💡

Pro Crafter Tip: Unsmoothing with a toothpick creates authentic dollop peaks and swirls.
