Description

Instructions

  1. Small 2021 01 11 052432 arch%2b1

    Gather all your materials and tools. I chose to use 2 different polymer clay colours (Sculpey Premo)

  2. Small 2021 01 11 052441 arch2

    Condition and roll out your clay to approximately 3-4mm thick

  3. Small 2021 01 11 052459 arch%2b3

    Using your shape cutters - cut a pair of each of your feature pieces. And cut 2 even sizes of your second colour.(using a shape cutter will keep consistency in sizes)

  4. Small 2021 01 11 052511 arch%2b4

    Roll your small circles into balls.

  5. Small 2021 01 11 052520 arch%2b5

    Using your head pins - push them up through the centre of your feature pieces. Support the shape between your fingers to try to avoid distorting the shape.

  6. Small 2021 01 11 052528 arch%2b6

    Now do the same with your balls.

  7. Small 2021 01 11 052553 arch

    You can choose to cure (bake) your clay with the balls attached to the head pins - or remove them - cure separately then re assemble once cool. Cure your clay to the manufactures recommendation. If your clay still feels a little soft - you can pop it back in the oven longer - but don't exceed the temperature.

  8. Small 2021 01 11 052608 arch%2b7

    Use your pliers to trim and bend the head pins into a loop o the top of your beads.
