Helpful Tips:
Do I have to use pastels to colour the clay taco shell?
No, you don’t have to use pastels to colour your clay taco. You can use your clay as-is or mix your own custom clay colours for the shell. You can also paint small details on the clay after it’s baked and cooled.
What types of tools are needed to make a clay taco?
Plastic knife (for cutting clay) Ball stylus tool (for texture) Textured tools (for adding realistic details to the taco toppings)
Alternatively, household items like a drinking glass, toothpick, plastic ruler, or crumpled aluminum foil can also be used to create similar effects.
What can I do with my clay taco?
These polymer clay tacos are cute enough to display on their own, but you can also turn them into a functional craft. DIY Taco Magnet: Glue a magnet to the back of the baked taco for a fun food fridge magnet, just like we did in our Clay Projects with Kids Domestika course. Clay Taco Keychain or Pendant: Use a needle tool (or toothpick) to make a small hole before baking. Then attach a jump ring to transform your cute taco into a keychain or jewelry. No matter your skill level, crafting with polymer clay is a fun and relaxing way to unwind and explore your creativity. This DIY clay taco is the perfect project for any crafter, so have fun making these tiny food creations on Taco Tuesday or any day!
