Illustrated tutorial on how to make handmade plant pattern soft clay ornaments as Mother’s Day gifts
Mothers Day is coming, are you ready for Mothers Day gifts? People who usually like to make handicrafts can now make a beautiful handicraft as a Mothers Day gift. Polymer clay is a great choice of material for making gifts because it is very malleable, so we can choose it freely. When using ultra-light clay, the details are easier to draw. Many people want to make works with plant patterns, but often because their painting skills are not very good, the works they produce are not very natural. So why can’t we just use plants to make it? Below is a tutorial on how to directly use plants to make polymer clay ornaments, which everyone will definitely be interested in.
First of all, we roll out a piece of soft clay into thin slices, and use small bamboo skewers to pad both sides so that the rolled out thin slices will be very even. Next, we can directly shape the collected plant branches and leaves, and then carefully press them into thin sheets of ultra-light clay. Then you can carefully take out the plant. There will be some plant debris on it, which we need to clean up carefully.
After the soft pottery hardens, you can use this piece of soft pottery as a mold for reprinting. Press another prepared thin piece of soft pottery on top of the mold to compact it.When you take it off later, you will find that the shape of the plant is already highlighted on our plane. Now we can paint some beautiful colors on it, and then further process it to make it a Mother’s Day gift!
