Polymer Clay Bracelet Beginner Tutorial

Описание: In this tutorial I show beginners how to get started working with Polymer Clay. This bracelet is made entirely with handmade one-of- a kind beads in the colors turquoise, white, gold and black. It is a basic beginners How- to- very detailed tutorial but also has a some fun and practical tips, like how to use pepper and glitter to add color and texture to your clay. This bracelet is made with all handmade polymer beads and stretch string. I also show you how to make a marble cane for making beads and give you tips on how to make a clean bead hole.
I also give you some information on what basic supplies you might need to get started, like cornstarch, baby wipes, toothpicks, a blade, a rolling pin, a dotting tool, wax paper and Sculpey Premo Clay. I do cover different glue choices for when you string your bracelet, like GS Hypo Cement and E600. At the end, there is also detailed information on what types of sealers you can use to finish your beads, such as Triple Thick and MinWax Polycrylic Water Based. I also discuss why I don't recommend using Mod Podge for Polymer Clay.
I also reference the Polymer Clay Tutor for her excellent baking tips.
