Beautiful, bright, juicy decorations do not necessarily buy. They can be made independently, if you master the technique of working with polymer clay.
- Polymer clay is a material that resembles plasticine in its consistency. But because of the heat treatment it freezes and turns into plastic
- Polymer clay is a lot of colors, shades and textures. Colors can be mixed, add sparkles and colors to them.
- This material is non-toxic and can even be used by a child.
- You can make almost all jewelry from polymer clay: earrings, pendants, bracelets, watch bracelets and much more.
- Fantasy is the main condition forwork with this material. Flowers, fruits, animals, abstract elements are far from a complete list of what can be realized with the help of polymer clay
. How to work with polymer clay,
- tips First, we will choose a manufacturer of polymer clay. It is expensive and cheap, with a wide range of colors, can be sold with a set or individual blocks
- Manufacturers such as Fimo, Kato, Pardo are quite expensive. There are domestic, cheaper analogs
- Do not buy a package of different colors at once. Buy 1 bar and try it at home: how its texture, miscibility with other plastics and paints, bake the resulting material. Good clay should not crack and excessively change the color of the
- For modeling, you will need standard colors that can later be mixed. We also need tools and a small electric oven
- Usually on the packaging of polymer clay it is written how long it needs to be baked until ready and at what temperature
- Please note that the polymer clay needs to work neatly. To maintain the purity of the color, work in medical gloves and on a clean surface
- If you decide to make jewelry from plastic, then in addition to clay, you will need the accessories: earring pins, fasteners, decorative details and much more.
. Polymer clay flowers: masterclass
- The most common and any flower is a rose. At first glance it is very difficult to make it, but it is not so
- Pay attention to the structure of this flower - many fastened petals, which are larger at the outer base and smaller in the inner
- . Prepare materials: we need the plastic of the color of the future rose( red, pink, yellow orwhite), a stack for modeling with a ball on the end
- We make the blanks for the future petals: we pinch off a piece of clay, knead it and turn it into a ball. Large balls - for the outer petals, smaller - for the inner
- Now we are missing the bud from the thin layer of the plastic
- . Each petal is made from a ball, we give it a curved shape with the help of a stack( this can be done with our hands)
- Alternately attach the petals to the bud, adjusting the splendor of ourflower
- A ready-made rose can be used for decorations. To do this, cut the base and make a hole for fastening
- . Gently put the flowers in the oven and bake until cooked. Then they can be lacquered at will
Earrings made of polymer clay
Now let's learn how to turn our roses into earrings. There are two ways. One of which is simpler, the second is more complicated, but the result is just a chic
Simple earrings from polymeric clay( billets of roses)
- We remove the billets of roses from the oven. They already have a hole for fastening
- . To turn them into earrings, we need: a pin with a two-sided eyelet, fastening rings, shvenzi
- . We string the rose on the pin and fasten it so that there is a fastening tab with
- on top and bottom.help the ring attached shvenzu
- On the lower part - a bead in the color of a rose( or as fantasy dictates).Bead will slightly weight the earrings and they will hang down without twisting
Earrings in the form of a bouquet of roses
- We again need billets of roses. But now raw and very small in size. They can be of various contrasting colors, for example red and white
- We make a base-ball. Attach to it with a toothpick rosettes. Keep them well in contact with the base ball and do not fall off after baking
- Spaces can be filled with small leaves of green plastic
- In the ball, carefully make a hole where pin will be fastened
- Bake our flower bouquet. The baking time will be slightly longer, since the high density of clay
- After cooling we attach our ball to the schwenze. Spectacular earrings are ready!
Bracelet made of polymer clay
- In the beginning, let's figure out what elements the bracelet consists of: the stem( chain, bundle, wire or line), clasp and decorative elements
- The base and the fastener are purchased in the store fittings,
- Make a bright berry bracelet from raspberries and blackberries. It will complete any summer image and look very original.
- For the production of raspberries, we need a pink and green clay, for the leaves. Making berries is very simple. The base is a solid ball of plastic. It is attached to small balls of a similar color. Bottom balls are smaller, on top - larger. To the basis of the berries we attach the leaves and attach the schwenze. Berries are baked according to the instructions for working with clay
- . Similarly, make blackberries, but from black or dark purple plastic
- . To make our bracelet brighter, we attach it to the base of the bead
- . For the basis of such a bracelet, it is better to use a chain on the decorative fastener
Polymer clay ring
- A polymer clay ring can be made in two ways: solid plastic or based on
- The solid ring is made with a mold. Mold is a silicone heat resistant mold that is filled with plastic and baked with it. Then the solid plastic is simply removed from the mold, polished and coated with
- varnish. For the second version of the ring, a base is needed. In the furniture stores, there are many such bases, where there is a niche for securing the plastic
- . You can imagine the decoration of the ring indefinitely. There are lots of options, but the easiest and most versatile option is the
- flowers. The ring with the earrings or necklace
. The beads are made of polymer clay.
- . To learn how to make beads from polymer clay, begin to learn how to make even,beads
- Even ordinary beads are not so easy to make that they are the same size and shape. Practice making equal balls of the same size and making holes for the fasteners
- when the basics are mastered you can start making decorative beads
Polymer clay beads with metal effect
- These beads are difficult to distinguish from metal beads. But thanks to your fantasy they will be unique
- We need plastic gray or metallic metallic, embossing element( for example, a button) and tools
- First roll a smooth ball of plastic
- Now roll out the plastic in a dense layer and emboss with a button. To prevent the button from adhering to the polymer clay, moisten it with water
- Then gently cut the embossed elements with a blade and attach them to the
- ball. Place the joint with a decorative plait of plastic
- . Make a bead hole for fastening
- . These beads can be used for beads, bracelets, earrings and manyother
Plastic clay necklace
- Make a massive summer necklace from polymer clay more difficult and requires some skills
- For it we need: a plasteak, decorative beads, chain and mount
- First draw a sketch and decide where to place which elements will be placed
- Then we will prepare individual flowers, leaves and beads
- For the base, we need a piece of thinly rolled plastic of the desired shape. Choose only high-quality plastic for such works, otherwise a bad base simply will not survive the abundance of elements and will break
- After the workpiece, we attach all the elements to the base according to the sketch. Do not forget to make holes for fastening to the chain
Jewelery for hair from polymer clay
- Polymer clay can be decorated with hair clips, rims and garters for hair
- You can fasten the elements to the base with a special glue or an invisible fishing line
- For any products,consisting of several elements you need to make a sketch, because not always the imagination corresponds to the result of
Delicate flowers for decorating pins and rims
- We will need: polymer clay and stackso use a toothpick)
- A piece of clay of the right color is kneaded and twisted into an oval
- We make cuts as many as the petals are planned
- Now we make each petal by bending it with the
- stack. We make the desired shape of the flower, we trim the extra plastic
- The middle can be decorated with yellow stamensfrom plastic or simply fill with paint
- Such flowers can be used for all kinds of ornaments. They are very similar to the flowers of an apple or apricot.
. Cloth clamps
- . For clingy rims, it is better to choose a thin base, plastic or metal
- . Fixing elements ensure that they do not cling to the hair.
- Here are examples of rims for inspiration:
Clips made of polymer clay
- The base of the hair clip can be an old plastic barrette, a usual barrette automatic or invisible
- In order for the barrette to last long, do not choose too massive elements for small bases.
Ideas for pins:
Brooch made of polymer clay
- We make a simple but nice brooch-seal from polymer clay
- .we like it. Print it on the printer in the right size and cut out the
- Now we prepare the plastic by rolling it into a thin
- layer. Put the template on the plastic and carefully cut out the desired shape with the blade
- Then decorate our brooch as you wish. This can be done with the help of small elements, sparkles, harnesses and much more. Do not limit your imagination
- Bake our brooch and with glue we attach it to the base
Pendants made of polymer clay
- It is necessary to make the original abstract suspension easier than it seems
- For this we need plastic of several colors and a special machine for rolling plastic
- Such a machine allows uniformly roll out polymer clay and, importantly, create a smooth transitioncolors
- This result can be achieved without a machine, but it's a painstaking work.
- We lay the plastic in the right color scheme and roll it into a thin layer
- Then fromcut even thin strips and fold into circles
- Original looks, if the edges of strips are rough
- Bake the resulting element. It can be used as a pendant or element for a necklace
