Projects: Poly Clay Creations

Recently I had some poly clay items that needed to be made for a few Swap-Bot swaps. They turned out better than I'd expected so I figured I'd show them to you!

Tiny Poly Clay Tea Cup Charm

This little tea cup may not look too impressive, but when you realize it's only about 1/3" in size, then I think I did pretty good! This will end up being a charm; that's why there is a wire sticking up through the center right now.

Poly Clay Shawl/Scarf Pin

This turned out so nice. I'm so proud of it! It was actually much easier to make than I thought it would be.

If you're unfamiliar with shawl/scarf pins, let me explain how this would be used. Just pull both layers of the shawl/scarf up through the center then push the pin part through the shawl/scarf. This will hold your shawl or scarf in place until you're ready to remove it!

Poly Clay Artist Trading Card (ATC)

This was another item that turned out really nice! It took me about an hour to make (not including baking time) because of all of the details in mica powders that had to be added with a tiny tipped paint brush. I think it was well worth the time, because I'm extremely pleased with the outcome.

This was another really easy project. Basically, I just rolled out my clay to the desired thickness, trimmed to size (2.5"x3.5"), stamped my images into the clay, and "painted" on the mica powders.

If anyone would like a detailed tutorial of the pin or ATC, complete with step-by-step photos, just leave a comment and I'll add one ASAP.

Thanks for reading!!
