This is when polymer clay and its magical, flexible properties come to the rescue. The forest magic of the Christmas tree should be decorated only with such a type of product that can convey the entire atmosphere of the future Christmas and New Year holidays. Let's try to figure it out in a fairly simple lesson, where we will have to use polymer clay and test its modern properties. This article will tell you about a simple way of working and show how we can independently implement the entire version of our own toy, using standard knowledge of polymer clay and working with crafts. This lesson is perfect for children as an educational, entertaining and educational material. Materials for work So, what materials will we need to work on the future product:
- A little polymer clay in the amount of 200-250 grams.
- You should also take a rolling pin or a paste machine.
- We take bulbs, they must be of two different types.
- Different colors and their pigmentation

Let's get to work on the product.To do this, you need to knead it well, and then roll out the polymer clay product into a small layer measuring 20x15 centimeters, the thickness of such a product should reach 5 millimeters. Using a brush, we take bronze powder and cover one side of the product with its material. Using the side on which the powder was placed, you need to put sandpaper. Then, you need to roll the product to get the texture. After, you need to cover our product with cling film and then distribute the cookie cutters on our plastic.Let's start our work Then, on the forms we need topress hard. Using the film, we get smooth edges of our workpiece, and the work process will be simplified. After, the film needs to be removed. Then, using a knife (model) we need to clean the edges, select the uneven elements that remained from the film. Using the back side, we put the desired version of the logo. Such products are stored for a very long time and it is quite possible that several generations ahead will keep such a toy, which will become a real family tradition and an object of everyone's attention on New Year and Christmas holidays. Then, it is necessary to put a graphic pattern. To do this, you need to take our devices for matching the pattern to press them into the clay. Fantasy can walk here as it pleases. Using elements of brooches or buttons, you can make beautiful jewelry. Rhinestones will only complement your drawing.Creating an external decoration for a toyWe continue to work. It is necessary to apply pigments in order to express our toy with their help. Then, using a needle, we make holes in the holes for the pins. Next, our product must be placed in the oven at a temperature of no more than 130 degrees and no less than 110. The decorations must be placed in a special sleeve, which is designed for baking. After 20 minutes, the product must be taken out. Next, it is necessary to add ropes to our holes. Lubricate the pins with glue, using round-nose pliers we must screw them into the product. Now, the rope can be fixed.The toy can be placed anywhere ontree immediately after baking. You can make a whole variety of different sets of such toys. It is quite simple, and at the same time it does not create any problems for its owner. A very diverse approach to toys and other decoration options can help you create your own set of interesting and unique crafts for the New Year.
