In this tutorial I will show you how to make the most perfect stripes using polymer clay and your clay extruder!
Before starting - unsure all your polymer clay tools and your hands are clean. Start by conditioning your clay until it is soft and workable.
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.
(I'm using Navy Blue and White Premo clay today )
One colour at a time, start laying your clay snakes onto your base clay. Ensure you keep the snakes straight
Its a good idea to let the colours overhang the base clay slightly. You can trim these down later.
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.
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.
