Spiral Baubles in Polymer Clay, a tutorial

This Polymer Clay Tutorial takes you step by step through the process required to create these polymer clay covered baubles. I show you how to create the glittered veneers, and how to correctly cut your clay to shape, to give the spirals around the bauble. In the video I work on a glass bauble base, but it may be possible to cover a plastic bauble too, if you watch and listen carefully to all the safety issues involved with that.

Once you have mastered the spiral shape, you can experiment and create your own polymer clay veneers to decorate your baubles with.

This is a fun technique that creates beautiful baubles. I hope you enjoy the video.
