What you need

Clay in these colours

  • Light brown
  • Brown
  • White
  • Black
  • Pink

All these colours are in the Polymer Clay Kit (82 colours). See the kit

  • Sculpting tools from the kit
  • An oven, an oven thermometer and baking paper. An adult does the baking.

Step by step

  1. Roll a light brown ball.

  2. Make the ball bumpy by gently pinching it.

  3. Roll six small brown ovals for the raisins.

  4. Press the raisins into the ball, spreading them out.

  5. Pinch off really tiny white crumbs for the icing sugar.

  6. Sprinkle the crumbs over the ball and gently press them on.

  7. Press on two small black balls as eyes and a thin black strand as a mouth.

  8. Press two small pink balls flat as cheeks. Done!

Tip

Bumpy is good here: a real oliebol isn’t smooth either.

An adult does the baking

  • Preheat to 120–125 °C, never above 130 °C
  • 15 minutes per 6 mm of thickness, max. 12 mm and 30 minutes
  • Oven only: no air fryer or microwave
  • Let it cool completely; attach cords and beads only after that
