Step 3
Insert the tip dipped bead toothpick (raspberry prototype) into the center of the silicone putty clay, as shown.
You will also need to hold the toothpick vertically for several minutes till the putty clay becomes solid in this step to get a good shape for your raspberry.
Step 4
Make a small cane (snake shape) of your red clay; around 2mm (just over 1/16") diameter. Cut a small piece and fill it into the mold. Here I have filled the molds with Fimo transparent Red #204. This is optional; you can mix your own ideal red color and make the berries.
Step 5
After filling the mold with clay, make a tiny hole in the center using a ball point tool or any small pointed tool. Leave the clay in the molds. Later we will bake the clay and molds together in the oven.
Step 6
Next, gather your heart shaped punches. Kemper Tools also makes "Heart Cutters" for polymer clay.
Step 7
Take your dark red polymer clay and condition. Then pass the clay through the pasta machine, resulting in a 1mm thickness. Place the clay on your tile or glass surface. Begin punching the tiny heart shapes; going slowly.
