Polymer clay decorative jewelry dish – tutorial

If you find it nice to create your own jewelry, I bet you would love to create your own storage space for them? This polymer clay decorative jewelry dish tutorial certainly will meet your needs! And it looks incredibly well!

Things you need: 

– 4 colors of polymer clay (in this tutorial I used red, black, white and grey)
– small round shape cutter
– cutter
– rolling pin
– clay extruder
– a jar, a glass or a can (You can use any shape. At the end of this tutorial you can find photos of polymer clay decorative dish in a variety of shapes and colors)

Method:

Step 1: 

Make one thin sheet of every color of polymer clay and cut small circles of every color as shown in the photo below.

Step 2: 

Combine the colored dots as desired. I added a photo with the combination I created for the beginners or for the ones that love the example I created and just want one polymer clay decorative jewelry dish just like the one I created for this tutorial.

Step 3: 

Take the big roll you created the previous step and pass it through the extruder. I used a square mold in the end of the extruder. You’ll obtain a thin square grid as the one in the photo below.

Step 4: 

Cut the thin square grid into equal pieces and combine them as shown below. It is a easy step because at the previous step you used a square mold. Cut a thin piece from one end of the rectangle just formed to have a perfect ending of the rolls.

Step 5: 

Make a thin sheet of polymer clay. We will use this as the base of  our polymer clay decorative jewelry dish. You can use any color of your choice, I used red fimo. Depending on the size you want to create, use a mold or a object from your house to create the perfect shape. I used a tin can and cut out the excess of the clay. This way I created a better usage for the cane I created before. For a better understanding I added photos.

Step 6: 

Take the cane and cut thin slices out of it. Cover the red polymer clay base with this slices.

Step 7: 

Use a rolling pin to unify the base. Reuse the mold or the object you chosen before and cut the extra clay.

Look I have a perfect circle with a very nice pattern!

Step 8: 

Wait for it, we still have one more step! Use your fingers to raise the edges as shown in the photos below.

This is my polymer clay decorative jewelry dish without the gold edge. For a nicer effect I combined gold powder with liquid fimo and paint the edges of my dish.

You have to decide which one looks better! I prefer gold edges, it looks vintage! After baking I also used a mate varnish.

Bellow you can find a set of photos with different colors of  polymer clay decorative jewelry dish I created using this technique I presented here.

I am very curious to find out which you liked the most! Please leave a comment with your favorite for my case study. 80% of my friends have chosen the red one :).

I hope you enjoyed this polymer clay decorative jewelry dish tutorial. I find it beyond stunning! For more polymer clay tutorials click here.

Basic polymer clay color blends tutorial

Today we will learn how to make a gradient polymer clay sheet in two colors. I guarantee this basic polymer clay color blends tutorial will give a sophisticated look to your future projects.

You can use any colors you want and of course as many as you need. There is no need to be two, but it is easier for you to understand how things work with only two colors. This two colors blended sheet where one is white is often encountered in canes.

Things I used for this basic polymer clay color blends tutorial:
– 2 polymer clay colors: white, blue
– cutter
– pasta machine

Let’s get started!

Normally for a two-color gradient, a square is used divided by its diagonal: one part will be of one color and the other part of the other tone. Depending on your project needs, you can combine the triangles letting the edges with incipient color. In my example one edges of the sheet will be my incipient colors (white) and the other edge will be mixed.

We double our rectangle in the middle and we pass this rectangle formed by two colors by the medium number of thickness of the pasta machine to form one sheet.

We double our square in the middle one more time and we pass the blade back through the pasta machine. We repeat the operation of folding and going through the machine several times, always inserting the sheet through the folded part, to help expel any air that may be trapped. We double our rectangle in the middle and repeat the process for several times (in my case 10), until the colors are blended. I added a lots of photos to the process for you to see how the colors are mixed.

Little by little, we are seeing the results of this operation: the gradient is becoming uniform and the stripes that appeared at the beginning of the process, are disappearing.

As the final step of the process I doubled the sheet into the middle and passed it through the pasta machine but this time starting with the thin dark blue edge. Your last step depends on what you need the blending sheet for. In my case, I used the sheet for a cane so I created rolls.

Polymer clay Ranunculus asiaticus tutorial

Today I am going to show you haw to make a polymer clay ranunculus. This tutorial is created in sugar pasta, but the process of creating this beautiful flower is the same with polymer clay. The flower we’ll make today is yellow but you can use any color you want depending on your project needs. You can find some ideas regarding the color in the next photo.  I’m really enthusiastic about this project, I particularly choose this flowers for my wedding, so let’s get started!

Tools:

You can find in the next photo the items you need to create your own polymer clay ranunculus.

Method:

     Step 1:

Create a mint polymer clay sheet. With the smallest drop cutter eight shapes ( depending on your bud dimensions you may need more or less petals). Use the ball tool to thin the edges of the petals. Add the petals one by one to the bud. To keep the perfect shape of the bud, you should add a strong wire to a end. Use the pictures below to create first layer of petals to your polymer clay ranunculus.

     Step 2:  

Repeat the process but this time on a light yellow polymer clay sheet. Use the same cutter for petals and the same ball tool to thin them. Add the petals one by one to the bud. Use a toothpick or a needle end tool to set the petals in the right position, it should intersect one to each other at the middle. Use the photos bellow as a model to the above.

     Step 3:  

Repeat the cutting process on the same light yellow polymer clay sheet, but this time use the medium cutter.  Use a toothpick or a needle end tool to add the petals one by one to the bud. Follow the photos bellow as a model. 

     Step 4:  

We will make three more rows of petals. For the following rows of petals we will use only the light yellow polymer clay and the largest  petal shape cutter. Is the same process as before: make a thin sheet of polymer clay, cut the petals and then thin the edges with the ball end tool. What we make different this time is the fact that we won’t add the petals to the bud, we will create them stand alone. For a better shape of the flower is better to create a mold from aluminum foil. Add the petals as shown in the photos below.

     Step 5:  

The only thing which has remained us is to cut the extra amount of clay from the bud and to add it to the petals in the aluminum foil. You can use napkins to make the petals stay in the position you want. Let it rest for a while before putting it in the oven and what it’s really important, don’t forget to remove the napkins

For a better effect you can use blending sheets, but if you are a beginner and you don’t have a pasta machine you can always use colors :).

In the next photo are some other colors polymer clay ranunculus. Don’t be afraid to combine colors, you may be surprised to find out how good you are!

To share on Pinterest, please use the photo below, this way you will remember that is it a tutorial.

Until the next time, I wish you all a creative day! You can find the full article that inspired me for this mixed colored ranunculus tutorial here.

Polymer clay fire flower cane tutorial

This polymer clay fire flower cane tutorial it’s more complicated than the ones we used to do before, not because of the techniques used but more for attention to details. Below is a orange and black polymer clay flower cane example with this technique.

To proceed with this polymer clay fire flower cane you will need:
– 6 colors of polymer clay
– pasta machine
– rolling pin
– a cutter

For the tutorial you can use whatever colors you enjoy working with. The author chose white, light blue and dark blue for the first gradient cane and yellow, green and dark blue for the second gradient cane.

Step 1:

Make six tiny sheets, one for each color you choose before. Cut a triangle out of it and combine them as shown in the picture below: one with the top up, the next with the top down and the last with the top up.

Step 2:

Take the first block (yellow, green and dark blue ) true the pasta machine with the top of the light blue down. Pull the block and repeat the process until you get a continuous color without darker stripes. After you get the continuous  color, you need to pull the sheet in the same direction until it reaches the width of a finger. For the last pass through the machine, you will need to rotate the block with the smaller edge down (from landscape to portrait). Roll the sheet you just obtained with the light color inside. Use the image below as an example. Here is a tutorial on this basic polymer clay skinner blends

Repeat the process with the second block consisting of the other three colors. In this example is the block consisting in white, light blue and dark blue polymer clay.

Thin the polymer clay gradient cane blocks you obtained below to the width of a palm

Step 3:

Cut the polymer clay gradient cane blocks in two in length. Take each half and also cut it on half. Use the photo below as an example. You will need to choose one color and cut the quarter of the block one more time in the half, also in length.

Combine the 9th blocks as shown in the picture below. Basically respecting the rule of combining the blocks from the first step: one with the top down, the next with the top up. Start with the smaller block (the color you have 5 blocks) and add normal size blocks. Do not forget: one top up, one top down! It’s important for the fire effect. Finish adding the blocks with the smaller one.

Press the blocks with a rolling pin or with your fingers to thin the blocks. This is the cane for the petals of the clay fire flower.

Step 4:

Cut the edges, they usually don’t look good and the remaining block into how many petals you need for your polymer clay fire flower cane. In the middle you can add one gradient cane with the colors from the top of the petals.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope that It was worthwhile to spend your time with me. If you decide to try it in different colors I would love to see your product! For more polymer clay tutorials from this author click here.

Polymer clay geometric cane – extruder technique

In this polymer clay geometric cane tutorial I will show you how to make perfect polymer clay geometric shapes using a clay extruder. I created squares and triangles, but with the extruder you can make many shapes.

Here’s what you will need:

– Selection of Fimo (or other Polymer clay) Colours

– Pasta Machine or rolling pin

– Clay Extruder

Step 1

Cut a piece of each color of clay and soften it with your hands or in the pasta machine.  Put the clay into the pasta machine to make small polymer clay sheets roll until approx 1mm thick with a rolling-pin. Is not a must to have 1mm, but the smaller the sheet the gradient will be the result. With a circle shape cutter cut multiple shapes of each color. You can use as many colours as you wish.

Step 2

Stack the circles that you have just cut out. You don’t have to put the colors in the same order. You can use the photo below as an example or fell free to be creative and combine the colors the way you feel.

Step 3

Put the stack of clay lightly in the extruder and twist the edge. Slice your extrusion result into sections to choose the perfect colors combinations for your project. Here is the result: a perfect polymer clay geometric cane!

When I started with the extruder I was afraid to combine colors and I created this type of canes using one color and white, the medium ones were the combination of the color I chose with different proportions of white.

For the ones that are afraid of colors below is another example of colors you can use to create polymer clay geometric canes.

Below is a photo on how I combined the different shades of blue and a polymer clay blue bracelet covered with this geometric cane.

Polymer clay gradient beads tutorial

Here’s another fun project that I want to share with you: polymer clay gradient beads tutorial to use in colorful jewelry! Over time the polymer clay beads squeezed the most time at my studio, but i’m not complaining. I succeeded to improve my techniques and for sure the amount of necklaces that I hold.

What you will need:

3 colors Polymer clay (white blue, mauve)
pasta machine
line, circle and rectangle shaped cutters
acrylic roller

Prepare the clay and roll it out with pasta machine.  Use circle cutter to cut pieces as shown in the figure below.  Roll each column in the balls  and repeat the process with withe and the second color.

Make a sheet of each ball. For next step you have to cut with the rectangle cutter each sheet.

Stack the colors in order from white to dark. Cut small sheets out of it as shown in the figure below.

Take one sheet of each color and combine them as shown in the next figure.

For next step you have to stagger your slices as shown below.

You should add 11 slices of polymer clay

Cut the figure starting with the darker color of first sheet, in this case the blue one.

Add the pieces you just cut in the front of the shape. The result is in the next photo.

Reduce the size of the polymer clay block and cut it in two pieces and combine them with the lighter inside.

From this polymer clay cane you will cut slices to cover your beads. For more polymer clay ideas click here.
