Stylish beads made of polymer clay will become an original decoration and emphasize the femininity and charm of the unique image of any fashionista. To make them, you will need a minimum of skills and abilities, and in the process of sculpting beads, you can dispose of the remains of clay of various colors.
It is necessary
- - self-hardening polymer clay (green, yellow, white, gray, brown);
- - rolling pin;
- - clay board;
- - latex gloves;
- - knife (metal ruler with a blade);
Instructions
Step 1
It is best to wear gloves before working with clay to avoid leaving fingerprints on the workpieces. Beads with a pattern in the shape of daisies are made by composing an image from certain pieces of clay of different colors. To do this, take white clay and roll it into a column 8 cm long and about 4 cm in diameter.
Step 2
Make a slab of gray clay about 2 mm thick. Wrap the gray plate about halfway around the white cylinder, cut off the excess with a knife or ruler.
Step 3
Prepare green clay and. having rolled it into a plate, wrap it around an oblong column, overlaying it on top of the gray layer. Trim the resulting workpiece, remove excess from the sides. Make three gray rectangular plates equal in length to the green and white column.
Step 4
Using a ruler, make three longitudinal cuts, not reaching the core of the white part of the part. First cut in the middle, then two more on the sides, placing the notches at the same distance from each other. Then insert the prepared rectangular pieces of the gray plate into the cuts. Squeeze the resulting workpiece not too tightly, but so that all the parts connect to each other and the air layer disappears between them.
Step 5
Form with your hands the shape of a column in the form of a petal, guided by the cut. In this case, we got a petal in the form of a truncated triangle. In the process of work, the column stretched out and became about 30 cm long. The length of the column will depend on how many petals are planned to be made. For this flower, only 9 petals will be made, so the length was 32 cm, that is, 3.5 cm per petal. Divide the column into 9 pieces.
Step 6
Now you can start making the middle of the chamomile. Take a yellow clay and roll out a column 5 cm long and 2 cm in diameter. Cut out a plate about 6 mm wide from brown clay and wrap it completely around the yellow column. Then gently squeeze all the pieces together so as to maintain the round shape of the post.
Step 7
After that, start attaching the petals, placing all 9 petals around the post. This should make a chamomile. Fill the hollow spaces between the petals on the outside with pieces of green clay.
Step 8
Then completely wrap the chamomile, previously rolled out with a green plate. Gently squeeze the chamomile column to release all the air between the parts.
Step 9
Then, thinly cut the post into the required number of round daisy parts. Make a ball of clay and daub the chopped daisies around it, then flatten to form a bead.
Step 10
You can make several options of beads to your taste by changing colors. Make a hole in each bead. Collect the finished beads into a piece of jewelry.
