Ingredients
Instructions
- Follow the clay packet instructions for preheating the oven.
- On a sheet of greaseproof paper, roll some of the polymer clay into a ball. Then, roll the ball out flat with the rolling pin. It's best to work on top of the paper so this way you don’t have to lift the clay itself up and risk misshaping it.
- Use the cutter to make the circular shape and remove any excess clay.
- Make a hole near the top using a pencil, pushing it right through. This is where your keyring or chain will go.
- Transfer the greaseproof paper onto a baking tray. This way you don’t have to lift the clay itself up and risk misshaping it.Bake for the recommended time and then leave to cool fully afterward.
- Make a geometric shape in the corner of the clay, blanking out anything you don’t want colored by covering it with tape.
- Bake for the recommended time. Then, leave to cool fully afterward.
- Now apply a few thin layers of white spray paint, allowing it to dry in between.
- Once totally dry, use a paintbrush and ink to splatter black all over the white. Leave this to dry completely.
- Remove the tape to reveal the speckled white shape and then repeat with more tape to create a triangular shape overlapping the white speckled area.
- Do a few lights coats and leave to dry fully. When it’s dry glaze the area to seal and give a luxurious shine.
