Diy Faceted Clay Rings
If you lot desire to build a few, get together your materials!
- modeling clay (I used Fimo Classic)
- X-Acto knife
- oven as well as baking pan
- liquid gilding (I used Martha Stewart brand inwards Gold, Brass, as well as Copper)
- small paintbrushes
- bamboo skewers
Start yesteryear molding a pocket-size total of clay into a strip that's foursquare on all sides. Make certain the strip is long plenty to twine around your telephone finger.
Bend the strip into a circle as well as gently press the ends together.
Take your knife as well as showtime carving away. First, carve off the excess well-nigh the backside of the telephone where the ends meet, as well as around the sides (where it volition hold out betwixt your fingers). This pace volition conduct maintain away some of the mass of the clay hence that the rings tally neatly on your fingers.
Then, on the forepart side of the telephone where the bulk of the clay remains, showtime to carve facets as well as angles at random. There's no correct or incorrect way! You may conduct maintain to experiment a fleck to larn the expect that you lot like. Make a few!
Bake your telephone according to the directions on the clay package. After they've cooled, pigment your rings alongside the liquid gilding. I constitute that they dried good suspended on bamboo skewers.
Make certain that they're dry, as well as then stack 'em upward as well as vesture 'em out! And don't hold out afraid to experiment alongside other shapes, sizes, as well as colors. Have fun!
