Beautiful Hanging Decorations in Polymer Clay, a Tutorial

These beautiful polymer clay decorations are easy to make and fun to do. I show you a simple cane but use any cane design you like for the petals/leaves. All you need to do, is sit back, relax, and watch as I take you step by step through the process.

Polymer Clay is oven baked, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the brand of clay you are using. When I bake, I tent the tile holding the clay pieces in aluminium foil, to protect the clay should the oven temperature spike during the baking process.

The amounts and colours of clay I use are listed within the video itself, I used FIMO Soft, but all recognised brands of polymer clay will work well for this project.

I used a Pasta Machine dedicated to Polymer Clay use to create blends/thin sheets and condition the clay. My Pasta Machine is an Atlas 180, and it has setting 0 as its thickest and 9 as its thinnest. There is a standard way of calculating the thickness of clay required, by using stacked playing cards. On my machine the thickness are as follows: Setting 0 = 8 playing cards, setting 1 = 7, setting 2 = 6, setting 3 = 5, setting 4 = 4, setting 5 = 3, setting 6 and 7 = 2, setting 8 and 9 = 1 card.

I hope you enjoyed the video and have fun with these techniques. Thank you so much for watching, and a special thank you to those of you who subscribe, I really appreciate it.
