Polymer Clay Slab Making for Beginners / Contemporary / Simple Canes / Clay Earring Tutorial

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

If you are new to polymer clay and want to get stuck straight into creating - then you've come to the right place!
I'm Nicole from The Little Craft House and today I am going to talk you through 3 super simple yet super cute polymer clay slabs!
Slabs are a great way to begin your polymer journey as you can let your creativity flow and create something that is fun and unique to you! (if your wondering what a 'slab' is - they are basically a flat 'slab' of clay decorated with other clay elements that you can then cut your earring components from!)
Although this tutorial's main focus is on creating the Slabs, I do touch slightly on conditioning, and at the end I talk quickly about finishing your pieces.
I don't really talk about the baking process - however, I recommend you check your package of clay for recommended curing times and temps.
All tools, clays and other accessories used in this tutorial can be purchased from our store The Little Craft House (located in Kenwick WA) or through our website (Australia only) www.thelittlecrafthouse.com.au
I hope you enjoy this tutorial!

    Hi! Just starting to learn! I have a couple of questions: how do you reduce the clay down to the tiny square of those rolled colors? I’m so confused! Also how do you use that thickness guide? Thanks!

  • @TheLittleCraftHouse

    @TheLittleCraftHouse

    Жыл бұрын

    Just keep squeezing and applying pressure the the cane. It will reduce it. The thickness guide keeps the clay level -stopping your roller from rolling too thin.
