Bracelet "Mandarin" - DIY, master class from polymer clay

BraceletBracelet "Mandarin" - this isa unique gift for the New Year, a good accessory or just, perhaps, a new challenge for you. It will not be difficult to make it, even with minimal knowledge in the field of polymer clay decorating. So, let's get started!Bracelet

  • Polymer clay with baking (or plastic)
  • Surface for work (tiles)
  • Toothpick
  • Glue
  • Knives (for clay)
  • Brush
  • Scissors, pliers
  • Rings
  • Rubber cord
  • Salt in large grind

BraceletTo create a unique bracelet"Mandarin" we may need to choose a color. Of course, it is orange and beige - for decorating the mandarin. You need to cut off a small piece of plastic, as it is done in the photo instruction. We cut for a hand with a girth of 18 centimeters. You will need two pieces of the appropriate sizes for each of the colors. Then, you need to cut the pieces diagonally.BraceletMixing Colors After that, wemix two colors with each other. Then, you need to cut small rectangular pieces that will be needed to complete the beads. The larger the bead, the larger the rectangle piece should be. Depending on the number of beads for future work. Our beads will be 1 centimeter per bead.BraceletPieces of different colors must be mixed untilshades of one color. We lay out the work on the surface where it will be baked. The transition should be smooth. Then, the blanks must be dipped in regular salt on a coarse grind and then rolled between the palms. The salt should be imprinted in the bead. We do this two or three times for each bead.BraceletHoles and preparation for the braceletBraceletThe beads turn out rough, with a surface.Using a toothpick, make small holes to insert a rubber cord into. Place the beads on a piece of glass or another surface. Then, decorate the bead with pendants. Pendants are worth making if you will wear (or give) only one set of beads. If there are two or three sets - they will interfere. Then, you need to roll out a layer of clay using a stamping machine. Corrugated paper will do. We will get the necessary imprint. The stamp is covered with talc, using a brush, carefully processing each depression. You should not get too carried away in order to get rid of excess. Then, you need to make prints for the plastic, which is on the paper surface. This way, the drawing will not smear on another surface.BraceletPreparing pendantsBraceletThe stamp should be prepared in advance usinga metal pendant imprint on a piece of plastic. Next, we'll make a small number of pendants in yellow and orange. We'll put them on glass for the future bracelet. Finishing workBraceletWe bake in the oven usinginstructions for polymer clay. Wait for it to cool, then rinse the beads in a water base, wash off all unnecessary (salt). The beads will have a rough surface, but it is pleasant to touch them. A thick rubber cord is perfect for assembling a bracelet. Use a transition color - a gradient. You need to drop some adhesive onto the knot. You need to cut off the tail. Do this after the adhesive dries. Hide the knot with glue in one of the beads. Attach the necessary pendants using rings and a device - pliers.BraceletThat's it, our bracelet for the winter holidays is ready!
