  Step 1

  Before starting - unsure all your polymer clay tools and your hands are clean.
  Start by conditioning your clay until it is soft and workable.

• 

  Step 2

  Using a small hole disk, extrude your colours into long snakes. (fun!)
  And roll another piece of clay to about 1mm thick to use as your base.

• 

  Step 3

  (I'm using Navy Blue and White Premo clay today )

• 

  Step 4

  One colour at a time, start laying your clay snakes onto your base clay. Ensure you keep the snakes straight

• 

  Step 5

  Its a good idea to let the colours overhang the base clay slightly. You can trim these down later.

• 

  Step 6

  Using your acrylic roller, roll length ways along the stripes. Do this slowly and with gradual pressure. This will flatten the stripes and bond them to the base clay.

• 

  Step 7

  You can now trim the edges and your clay is ready to use!

  **Hot tip - if you find you have lint, fluff or slight colour transfer on your polymer clay, you can use a tiny bit of rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol with a Q-tip to remove it.
