Making Embellishments with Creative Paperclay®

 Hello! Welcome to another tutorial. Today I want to show you how versatile Creative Paperclay can be. My main use is sculptures but I also use it to make embellishments for my craft and mixed media projects. I used molds, rubber stamps and freeform to make these gorgeous embellishments.

To make the embellishments you will need Creative Paperclay, molds, cornstarch, a rolling pin, a craft knife and a rubber stamp. You can decorate them with whatever paints etc. you have on hand. 

For the lovely pink coiled flower, roll out your clay into a snake and then roll up like a pinwheel. Set it aside to dry. You can make it as large or small as you like. 

If you are using a mold, dust it lightly with cornstarch and press in the clay. Carefully remove it and set it aside to dry.

You can also freeform shapes such as hearts. 

For this one a rolled out the clay thin (about an eighth of an inch) and then stamped the clay using my favorite dragonfly stamp. 

I then set them all aside to dry.

I decorated them using acrylics,

gilders pastes,

and gilders paint.

For the dragonfly and painted with acrylic paint and then sprayed with a walnut ink.

I think they all came out beautifully don't you? Now I have more embellishments to add to my stash. 

I do hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you so much for joining me.
