Beautiful, bright, juicy jewelry is not necessary to buy. They can be made independently if you master the technique of working with polymer clay.

Polymer clay is a material that in its consistency resembles plasticine. But due to heat treatment, it freezes and turns into plastic
Polymer clay is many colors, shades and textures. Color can be mixed, add sparkles and paints to them
This material is not toxic and even a child can work with it
From polymer clay you can make almost everything from jewelry: earrings, pendants, bracelets, watch bracelets and much more
Fantasy is the main condition for working with this material. Flowers, fruits, animals, abstract elements are far from a complete list of what can be embodied using polymer clay

How to work with polymer clay, tips

To begin with, we will choose a polymer clay manufacturer. It can be expensive and cheap, with a wide colors, can be sold by a set or in separate cubes
Manufacturers such as FIMO, KATO, PARDO are quite expensive. There are domestic, cheaper analogues
Do not buy a package of various colors at once. Buy 1 bar and try it at home: like its texture, mixing with other plastics and paints, bake the material obtained. Good clay should not crack and change the color excessively
For modeling, you will need standard colors, which can later be mixed. We also need tools and a small electric oven
Typically, on the packaging of polymer clay it is written how much time it needs to be baked until cooked and at what temperature
Please note that with polymer clay you need to work carefully. To keep the purity of color, work in medical gloves and on a clean surface
If you decide to make plastic jewelry, then in addition to clay you will need accessories: Schwenzes for earrings, fastening elements, decorative details and much more

Polymer clay flowers: master class

The most common and lung flower is roses. At first glance, it is very difficult to make it, but it is not
Pay attention to the structure of this flower - a lot of fastened petals, which are more than the external base and less in the internal
We will prepare the materials: we need plastic color of the future rose (red, pink, yellow or white), stack for modeling with a ball at the end
Let's make blanks for future petals: we pinch a piece of clay, knead it and turn it into a ball. Large balls - for external petals, smaller - for internal
Now we miss a bud of a thin layer of plastic
We make each petal out of the ball, with the help of a stack we give it a curved shape (this can be done with your hands)
We alternately attach the petals to the bud, adjusting the splendor of our flower
The finished rose can be used for jewelry. To do this, cut the base and make a hole for fastening
Gently spread the flowers in the oven and bake until cooked. Then they can be opened with varnish at will

Polymer clay earrings

Now let's learn to turn our roses into earrings. There are two ways. One of which is simpler, the second is more difficult, but the result is simply chic

Simple earrings made of polymer clay (rose blanks)

We take out rose blanks from the oven. They already have a hole for fastening
To turn them into earrings, we will need: a pin with a bilateral ear, fastening rings, Swesza
We string the rose on the pin and fix it so that there is an eye to fastening with a part above and below
At the top, using a ring, we attach Schwenza
On the lower part - a bead in the color of the rose (or as fantasy suggests). The bead will slightly weight earrings and they will hang without twisting

Rose bouquet earrings

We need rose blanks again. But now raw and very small sizes. They can be of various contrasting colors, such as red and white
We make the basis-marten. We attach roses to it with a toothpick. Make sure that they are in contact with the ball ball and do not disappear after baking
Spaces of spaces can be filled with small leaves of green plastic
In the ball, we carefully make a hole where the pin will be attached
We bake our floral bouquet. The baking time will be slightly larger, since the high density of clay
After cooling, we attach our ball to Schwenza. Spectacular earrings are ready!

Polymer clay bracelet

In the beginning, let's figure out what elements the bracelet consists of: the base (chain, tourniquet, wire or fishing line), fastener and decorative elements
We purchase accessories in the store, but we make decorative elements on our own
Let's make a bright berry bracelet of raspberries and blackberries. He will complement any summer image and looks very original
To make raspberries, we need pink and green clay, for leaves. Making berries is very simple. The base is a dense plastic ball. Small balls of a similar color are attached to it. Below balls are smaller, on top - larger. We attach the leaves to the base of the berry and attach Schwenza. Berries are baked according to the instructions for working with clay
We make a blackberry similarly, but from black or dark purple plastic
So that our bracelet is brighter, except for berries, we will attach to the base of the bead
For the basis of such a bracelet, it is better to use a chain on a decorative fastener

Polymer clay ring

A ring made of polymer clay can be made in two ways: continuous of plastic or based
A solid ring is made using Mold. Mold is a silicone heat -resistant shape, which is filled with plastic and baked with it. Then hard plastic is simply extracted from the mold, polished and covered with varnish
For the second version of the ring, you need the basis. There are many such foundations in accessories in accessories where there is a niche for fixing plastic
How to decorate the ring can be imagined to infinity. There are many options, but the easiest and most universal option is flowers
The ring in the kit with earrings or a necklace looks especially original

Polymer clay beads

To learn how to make beads made of polymer clay to start, learn to make even, neat beads
Even ordinary beads are not so easy to do so that they are the same size and correct shape. Practice making even balls of the same size and make holes for fasteners in them
when the basics are mastered, you can proceed to the manufacture of decorative beads

Polymer clay beads with metal effect

Such beads are difficult to distinguish from metal. But thanks to the embosses of imagination, they will be unique
We need gray plastic or metallic color, embossing element (for example, button) and tools
First we roll a flat ball of plastic
Now we roll out the plastic in a dense layer and with the help of a button we make embossing. So that the button does not stick to the polymer clay moisten it with water
Then carefully cut the embossed elements and attach them to the ball with a blade
We decorate the junction of the junction with a decorative plastic harness
We make a hole for fastening in the bead
Such beads can be used for beads, bracelets, earrings and much more

Polymer clay necklace

Making a massive summer necklace made of polymer clay is more difficult and requires some skills
For him we need: plastic, decorative beads, chain and mount
First, draw a sketch and decide where what elements will be placed
Then we will prepare individual flowers, leaves and beads
For the base, we need a piece of finely rolled plastic of the desired shape. Choose only high -quality plastic for such work, otherwise the bad base simply cannot withstand the abundance of elements and breaks down
After the workpiece, we attach all the elements to the base according to the sketch. Do not forget to make holes for fastening to the chain

Polymer clay

Polymer clay can be decorated with hairpins, rims and garters for hair
You can fix the elements to the base with a special glue or invisible fishing line
For any products consisting of several elements, you need to make a sketch, because the imagination does not always correspond to the result

Delicate flowers for decorating hairpins and rims

We will need: polymer clay and stacks (you can use a toothpick)
We knead a piece of clay of the desired color and twist into the oval
We make incisions, as much as the petals are planned
Now we make each petal, bending it with a stack
Give the flower the desired shape, cut excess plastic
The middle can be decorated with yellow stamens of plastic or simply fill with paint
Such flowers can be used for all types of jewelry. They are very reminiscent of the flowers of apple tree or apricot

Clay rims

For clay rims, it is better to choose a thin base, plastic or metal
When fixing the elements, make sure that they do not cling to the hair
Here are examples of rims for inspiration:

Polymer clay

The basis of the hairpin can be an old plastic hairpin, an ordinary hairpin or invisibility
So that the hairpin serves for a long time, do not choose too massive elements for small foundations

Clain ideas:

Polymer clay

We will make a simple, but cute broch-cowl made of polymer clay
Choose a kata template that we like. Print it on the printer in the right size and cut it out
Now cook plastic, rolling it into a thin layer
Put the template on plastic and carefully cut the desired shape with a blade
Then we decorate our brooch at our discretion. This can be done using small elements, sparkles, harnesses and much more. Do not limit your imagination
We bake our brooch and with the help of glue we fasten it to the base

Polymer clay pendants

Make an original abstract suspension to make it easier than it seems
To do this, we need plastic of several colors and a special machine for rolling plastic
Such a machine allows you to evenly roll polymer clay and what is important to create a smooth transition of color
This result can be achieved without a machine, but this is a painstaking work
We lay the plastic in the desired color scheme and roll it into a thin layer
Then we cut off even thin strips and turn into circles
It looks original if the edges of the strips are rough
We bake the resulting element. It can be used as a pendant or element for a necklace
