Universal Clay Jewelry - DIY Polymer Clay World
The world of polymer clay is fascinating, interesting andvery flexible. It is for these reasons that creating something new is not a particularly difficult or impossible task. For example, jewelry. How many women are looking for universal options for working on jewelry with their own hands? Perhaps, we all have a slight passion for creating something of our own. Polymer clay allows you to do this, and a set of all sorts of fascinating crafts on this topic only encourages active actions. This master class tells in detail how you can implement this or that type of polymer clay handicraft with your own hands. But, using the example of working on one of its sections - jewelry.
We will need:
- Take polymer clay in different colors.
- Also, you need a toothpick
- Need a baking tray from the oven
- Nitochka
- Needle with eyelet
Working with clay It is worth noting right away thatPolymer clay can be obtained using two options. The first is the ability to use your own clay. It can be made from special mixtures and lessons for working with your own hands. But this option is too labor-intensive and it is better to get carried away by the process. Therefore, the second option is more priority - buying polymer clay for cooking with your own hands. After this, the clay needs to be kneaded. It will warm up and as a result - it will deform better. When you feel that the clay is ready for work (it will be easy to knead), you need to cut off a piece that fits the size of the bead in the desired color scheme. We will roll our piece of clay in our hands and form the desired piece (rounded).
You can also just cut the clay with a knife andmake small pieces. Next, we lay out the pieces that we get using a cutting board and add a small drop of oil (preferably mineral). After, mix these pieces again, into one piece. Thus, the mineral oil will make the clay a more pliable layer for work. We work on the bead Next, you need to pierce the mold with a toothpick, in the center. It is necessary to preserve the shape of the bead, and the hole should be such that the needle can easily pass through it. After - we put small products on our baking sheet. On the baking sheet, or more precisely - in the oven, our clay will be baked. By the way, such a baking sheet can no longer be used for working with food.
The open variety of techniques allows usprocess the bead according to your own decision. Some craftsmen combine two different shades of color to recreate a gradient. Someone tries to recreate small casts, forming small molds from beads. For example, using a rolling pin, they knead the clay and then process its shape. In this way, you can recreate truly unique and incredible things made with your own hands. Baking and finishing It is necessary to recreate the necessary molds for clay, in order to then form your version of beads. After the work with the beads is completed, they must be baked in the oven. Here, everything depends only on you. The amount of time in which the clay will be baked is the time stated on the packaging of the clay product. After the clay has been processed by baking, it must be formed into beads. A thread and a needle will come in handy here. We pass the needle and thread through our holes for the product. We decorate the product as desired. Here, everything depends on your imagination and desire to implement interesting solutions.
The beads are ready! They can be put on and used as intended. Of course, during work, you can perform various manipulations on the beads, change the shape or improve the design.
