Polymer clay rainbow cane bracelet tutorial

Today i was inspired by this polymer clay rainbow cane bracelet tutorial which is actually pretty interesting to make.

We all admire people that stand out trough their appearance, so when it comes to unique statement pieces that really can make a difference in an well planned outfit we just have to have as many as possible.

It is even more interesting when you can say that you have made that catchy accessory just by following the steps from this Polymer clay rainbow cane bracelet tutorial.

Here we go!

What you will need:
– polymer clay: white, red, orange, yellow, green. blue, purple and gray.
– tools: clay slicer, clay conditioning machine

Step 1

At first I will show you how to make a simple rainbow cane. Use the purple clay to form a generous thin sheet in a rectangular shape.

Do the same with the other polymer clay colors and place the sheets one on top of the other in the order of a rainbow, as you can see in the image above. You can use white polymer clay also to place between the colored sheets. This way the rainbow effect can be more intense.

Use the clay slicer to cut through the colored bulk that you have built sheet by sheet so you will get some rectangular sheets that contain all your colors. Place them one next to another over the purple sheet.

Step 2

For this step we can actually begin with our polymer clay rainbow cane bracelet tutorial.

You need to prepare ahead the molds for the bracelet, out of a clay color of your choice, and that will be the color of the sheet that you will place under the rainbow. In order to obtain a smooth sheet you need to use a clay conditioning machine.

Now you will have to cut skinny slices out of the smooth sheet of rainbow clay just enough to be placed on the bracelets molds. Remove the extra edges, place them on a tray and bake them 15 to 20 minutes at the temperature recommended for the clay you are using.

Step 3

All that is left now is to place the lining of your choice on the interior and that’s it. Enjoy your new bracelets!

The cane

Now, I will teach you how to create a cane from the leftovers. And it’s simpler than you think, all you have to do is twist. Before you start rolling the colorful sheets make sure you leave some space between the layer formed from the clay colors and the purple one underneath. Good. Now that know how to make a beautiful rainbow cane and I’m relay curious how will you use. Feel free to comment and add your creations 🙂

Enough chit-chat! Let’s get started with our Best friend photo frame DIY step by step tutorial:)

To complete this fun project we need these materials:
– Polymer clay : white, fuchsia, beige, black, wasabi green, lilac.
– Tools: clay roller, clay slicer, clay knife, mini heart cutter.
– Other supplies: photo frame, toothpick, clay fast dry glue.

The flowers

Divide the white clay it into 5 parts. Then roll each part to small spheres which will make the petals. The same way you will form the rest of the flowers with different colors and sizes.

The snail and the butterfly

Now, for the snail shell use the lilac clay, shape it as a long cone and roll it.
For the head and body use beige clay. Make a flat oval shape out of white clay and a flat triangle out of lilac clay for the wings of the butterfly which has the same body and head as the snail. After assembling the parts together attach them to the large flowers.

The Details

Use the roller to make a flat thin sheets from the fuchsia clay, then cut little squares. Do the same way with the white clay but this time just to cut little hearts that you will attach together on the snail shell and on the wings of the butterfly.

You can form the eyes from white and black balls and put them on the faces.
For the mouth use a toothpick and make a hole.
Use wasabi green clay to create little leaves and curls to apply on or between the petals.

Use pieces of wire steel to create the feeler and fix them with bake & bond.
At the top of each feeler apply a fuchsia ball.

For the letters form a thin rope from fuchsia clay and cut the necessary pieces to join for the message.

At last, bake the pieces and use the clear fast dry glue to assemble the frame.
