Handmade Rings from Polymer Clay - Tutorial.

in #handmade8 years ago

If you have read my early posts, you know that my wife and I make handmade bijou from polymer clay. Here the tutorial - how to make a simple and funny rings. It might be interesting for those who are just beginning to master polymer clay.



We will need:

  • baking polymer clay
  • sharp blade
  • acrylic or plastic rolling pin (or pasta machine)
  • round cutters
  • plastic tube




1. You'll need polymer clay in two colors.


2. Roll out to a gradient. For convenience, you will need a pasta machine. But you can do without it and roll out with a rolling pin (acrylic or plastic)


3. Wrap it - the light part inside.


4. Cut into 4 pieces. You will need a sharp blade.


5. Fold the cut parts as follows.


6. Using a rolling pin, press it to make something like a parallelepiped :) Then cut off the part - such width as you need.


7. Using a cutter of the desired diameter, remove middle of the the workpiece.


8. Place in a central hole plastic tube - it is necessary for giving rigidity. Carefully give form to your ring.



Than you need to bake your ring according with the instruction, printed on the package.

Last one - when you already baked your ring, you need to grind and polish it.



The result is something like this:


I wish you success in your creativity, friends!

Superb tutorial @terrycraft!
The colors are awesome and ...to be onest it made me little bit hungry too, because on step 4. the image looks like a red onion when you cut it in two.
That being said I am curios to read more so I follow you now!

Thanks for the post! Super creative are you!

This is such a cool post! thanks!

@terrycraft - upvoted, so this is actually how they do it.
I love the colors. Not a jewel bearer but I could also use the technique in making other stuff - like a key holder
