Tutorial: Polymer Clay Fairy Doors




Step 1: Collect all supplies...
-Pigment powders
-Woodgrain Polymer Clay (see tutorial below)
- Black Polymer Clay
-Wax Paper
-Texture Plates
-Pasta machine or rolling pin
-Polymer clay carving tools

Step 2: Massage clay to soften it until it is the desired consistency. Do not over soften the clay.






Step 3: Roll out clay into a sheet and press the texture plate into the sheet of clay. Make sure you put enough pressure on the plate so that the image is properly transferred.





Step 4: Peel off texture plate and cut the desired shaped door into the clay using your carving tool.









Step 5: Dip finger into Pearl Ex pigment powder and gently rub on top of door, trying not to get the powder into the textured sections.





Step 6: Use a different color to paint the inside of the textured sections. I recommend using a darker color for this part.






Step 7: Use a different color to paint the inside of the textured sections. I recommend using a darker color for this part.








Step 8: Using the woodgrain clay design, cut planks of "wood" and create a door step that is a suitable size in comparison to the door.





Step 9: Place all pieces onto a baking sheet that has been covered in foil. Bake at 275 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 40 minutes, or 30 minutes per 6mm.





Step 10: Sand down rough edges on both the bottom of the door and the base. When done sanding, wipe off the dust that's been created from sanding.





Step 11: Glue door to base and hold in place till dry.







DONE!
