I made these! It took aaaaaaages! But I do love miniatures, even if I’m not a super pro like some of you. The blue tin is a raffle prize for the Nerd Games but the red one is for me! It took forrrrrever to make the little lemonade pitcher so I’m keeping it.

Thank you!!!
The pitcher was a pen cap, cut down and with the rounded tip sanded flat to form the base. I used a heat gun to soften the cut end and then used a metal clay sculpting tool to pull the spout from the softened plastic. The handle was a bit of the detritus left from cutting the cap down, again the heat gun was used to curve it. Then I superglued it onto the side. You definitely want to use long tweezers when holding something so tiny near a heat gun! It’s a miracle that I’m blister-free. 
The glasses were part of a clear drinking straw cut to desired length. I put a little blob of hot glue on some waxed paper and set one end of the straw in it to form the bottom of the cup. When it was cool, I trimmed off the excess paper and glue.
I used E6000 to create the illusion of stuff in the jug and glasses. I had teeny polymer clay fruit slices that I bought online years ago. I cut minuscule slices in some of them to garnish the glasses, and used a toothpick to push a few down into the glue that was in the pitcher.
