We had so much fun at the Disney Halloween Party this year! We decided to go as Vanellope von Schweetz and Fix-it-Felix from Wreck-it-Ralph. And of course I wanted to share all the steps of our Wreck it Ralph Cosplay with you guys along the way. So get ready for a Sugar Rush as we make polymer clay hair candy.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Part 1: Making the Rounds – Roll out small pieces of aqua, green, yellow, orange, red and magenta clay and create small flat round candy using a piece of plastic straw. Once all of the pieces are stamped out, flatten each one slightly before baking according to package instructions.

Part 2: Making the Sprinkles – Roll out snakes of magenta, green, orange, red and aqua clay. Cut into inch-long pieces. The pieces do not need to be exactly measured; they can all be a little different. Bake according to package instructions.

Part 3: Making the Stars – Roll out a small piece of yellow clay and punch out three small star shapes. Bake according to package instructions.

Part 4: Making the chocolate mint rounds – Start with a ball of brown and a ball of green clay. Flatten both to the same width and height. Cut the circles in half and make two candies half brown, half green. Cut the candy diagonally three equal times. Interchange every green triangle with a brown triangle. Lightly press the whole candy together to make it round again. Then pick up the candy and hold the center lightly. Gently twist the mint away from you, until you get a light swirl in the candy. Repeat this process on the second candy and then bake according to package instructions.

Part 5: Making the Red Licorice Twist – Roll out a large snake of red clay. Gently flatten the top with a roller, then trim the sides flat with a blade. Twist the snake into a licorice whip design. Create the ponytail holder shape, and then bake according to package instructions.

Part 6: Making the Hearts – Roll out a small piece of red clay and punch out two small heart shapes. Bake according to package instructions.

Part 7: Making the Gummy Bears – Using purple clay, form the gummy bear body shape. Add ears and legs. Create the face and add arms. Repeat this process with the green clay. Bake according to package instructions.

Part 8: Glaze the Mints, Gummy Bears, and Licorice Twist – The other candy pieces do not need to be glazed. They will look more realistic if they are matte.

Part 9: Glue candy to clips and bobby pins – Once all your pieces are baked and cooled, glue them to the hair clips and bobby pins using a strong glue like E6000. Once the glue is completely dry, you’re done.  Your candy pieces are ready to go in your hair or on a wig for your cosplay.
