What you need to make the Corn
Sculpey clay - 57g packet in translucent , Sculpey clay - 57g packet in yellow, Stanley knife, Wooden skewer, Oven, Baking tray, Baking paper, Stanley knife

Step 1- Slice a quarter of the translucent cream off using your Stanley knife. Warm the clay up by rolling it into a ball in between your palms. The warmer the clay the easier it is to work with. 

Step 2 - Roll the ball out to be a fat 4 cm long sausage shape. Make sure both ends are relatively flat. 

Step 3 - Stick the wooden skewer in the end. Make sure it doesn't go all the way through. This is the pith of the corn and what you will be sticking the kernels onto. 

Step 4 - Cut off 1/2 of the yellow clay and roll into a ball to warm it up ready for use. 

Step 5 - Pull or cut pieces off and roll into even little balls 

Step 6 - Use your index finger to roll each ball into a short sausage. Then cut each sausage in half using a Stanley knife. This can take a while so keep positive as it will all be worth while in the end. 

Step 7 - Now comes the fun section - push on each kernel starting from the top and working your way down. Once completely covered, pull out the skewer and place onto an oven Tray lined with baking paper for 30 mins at 130 degrees. 

Step 8 - Coat the corn in clean nail polish to make it look like its covered in butter.
