  • plastic of any color (in this case we will use red and purple plastic);
  • smooth surface for work;
  • knife stationery;
  • needle;
  • rings for trinkets;
  • small pliers and rolling pin.

First, you need to cut off some plastic and knead it well with your hands. Roll an even ball, then use a rolling pin to roll it into a circle.A gift to the day of lovers of polymer clay own hands. Photo # 2The thickness of the resulting circle should beuniform, the same on all sides. Using a needle, outline the shape of the future keychain. In this case, it is a heart, which consists of two parts. Then cut off all the excess and unnecessary pieces of material with a stationery knife.A gift to the day of lovers of polymer clay own hands. Picture №3In order to easily separate the two halveshearts, you can also use a knife. Now it's time to use a material of a different color, I have purple. It still needs to be rolled out.A gift to the day of lovers of polymer clay own hands. Photo №4One half of the red heart needs to be transferred to the purple plastic. In order for the parts to stick together a little, you need to press them down, for example, with a glass.A gift to the day of lovers of polymer clay own hands. Photo №5Draw the outline of a single heart and cut out all unnecessary parts.A gift to the day of lovers of polymer clay own hands. Photo №6If you wish, you can add variousdecorative elements. Don't forget about the keychain hole. The most important work is already done. Now it's time to bake our keychain until it becomes hard. Polymer clay comes in many types. So, for each there are instructions, that is, baking rules and so on. Be sure to follow them! When the product hardens, you can varnish it. Regular construction varnish for wood will do. If you want, you can paint the keychain with acrylic paint or add various decorative elements. It all depends on you and your imagination.

  • polymer clay (color take it at your discretion);
  • transparent building lacquer;
  • extruder;
  • sequins (you can use them for manicure);
  • accessories (depends on what you want to do).

In this case, the color of the clay was pink, butit doesn't matter at all, it all depends on your preferences. Take a small part of the clay, knead it in your hands and roll it out so that the thickness is medium. Pass the rest through an extruder. If you don't have one, pass the clay through a garlic press, but the sausages may turn out too thick. They are suitable for a magnet, but they are unlikely to be suitable for jewelry. You can also try to roll the sausages by hand. Of course, this is more difficult, especially since they should be uniform, but it is quite possible. After the previous stage of work has been done, the resulting tubes need to be twisted. To do this, take two sausages and start twisting counterclockwise. Start laying out the spirals that you got on the previously rolled clay. Try to arrange them in such a way that small loops are formed. The spirals need to be alternated, for example, one twisted in one direction, the other in the other direction. This is required to obtain a pattern.A gift to the day of lovers of polymer clay own hands. Photo №8Once the entire pattern is laid out, cut it outheart. You can lay out another spiral along the edges of the product, but it should be even thinner than the previous one. Thanks to it, the product will look much neater.A gift to the day of lovers of polymer clay own hands. Photo Number 9The next steps depend entirely onon what kind of craft you want to get in the end. If you want a pendant, then using, for example, a toothpick or a thick needle, make a small hole or insert fittings. Now it's time to start baking or boiling the product, as desired. If you chose the second option, then dip your product in boiling water and boil it for about ten minutes. If you want to make a brooch, then you need to roll out a small square piece of clay. Apply gel to the back of the heart, glue the pin, square and boil again. In the case when you chose a magnet, now it's time to attach it. Then sprinkle the heart with glitter and cover it with varnish. Your DIY polymer clay Valentine's Day gift is ready.
