I included a treat I make every Christmas for real - peppermint bark. It’s really easy. Line a square baking dish with parchment paper and pour in a layer of melted dark chocolate chips. After it hardens melt a bag of white chocolate chips and stir in about a quarter teaspoon of peppermint extract. Pour that onto top and sprinkle crushed candy canes into the white chocolate while it’s still soft. Unmold after it hardens and cut into chunks.
I kind of did the same thing with polymer clay. A layer of dark brown clay rolled thin was topped with a layer of white clay. The peppermint on top is made from white and red clay ropes twisted together and baked. Once hardened I chopped them into small pieces and pressed those into the white clay and baked it all together.
Oh, my sweet, sweet baby Bigfoot! This is wonderful! All the teensy details! The flatware in the jar on the shelf with the plates, teapot and glasses! All the gloriously realistic desserts on/in the wee serving dishes! If I were this scale, I’d be throwing elbows to get at these tasties!
Thank you! That little reindeer silverware holder is decorated with nail stickers. So are the plates and mugs.

Do you have a special way that you display all of your miniature scenes for the holidays?
I bet nail stickers are awesome for this type of project…very clever and cute!
I can’t eat mint anything but I know it is a favorite treat during the holidays. Your clay peppermint bark looks so realistic! I still make Christmas crack from way back when.
So sweet! I could just look at all the little details for hours. So clever to use nail stickers! I was wondering how in the world you could possibly have painted such a tiny reindeer face.
