How Do You Cover Cane Decorations For Polymer Clay Bowls?
When it comes to gift giving, sometimes the most special gifts are the ones you take the time to make yourself. Sculpting a polymer clay bowl for someone makes a nice house-warming or wedding gift. However, each step of the process is a bit labor intensive. Here are some tips on how to cover the cane decorations which will later adorn your polymer clay bowl. Slice off a piece of clay which will be large enough to cover your cane decorations once it has been rolled. Roll out the clay with your rolling pin. Some artists add a little bit of oil to the rolling pin to avoid the clay sticking to it, however if you don’t have any, this part of the project is so quick you’ll be okay. Pull the clay into the shape of a rectangle with your fingers. Think of stretching pizza dough when you do this. Continuously work the clay until you obtain the desired shape. Wrap the cane decorations with your stretched-out clay. This is the same way you’d wrap a hot dog with plastic wrap and throw in the fridge
