Connor of Connor Creates tested whether cheap instant ramen noodles could serve as a viable sculpting material by crafting a coffee mug, a vase, and a lamp.

I was honestly pretty shocked that I was able to make legit pottery using cheap ramen noodles!

Connor’s process involved pulverizing the noodles and mixing them with glue and water to make a moldable clay-like material. He also used the noodles whole, applying various finishing techniques to complete each unique piece.

At the beginning of this, I was a bit skeptical that it would even work, but now here we are with a beautiful coffee mug. Oh, and it comes with a nice ramen coaster too. And here’s the vase made of probably like 13, maybe 15 ramen packs. And we can’t forget the lamp, which is absolutely glorious. And I really love how it turned out. Pottery from Cheap Ramen is possible, folks.
