CREATIVE CRAFTING

My husband who is a retired Clay Model Maker for one of the auto industries gave me this idea for making the brick patterns on the side of my miniature houses.  He also gave me the idea to make miniatures.  Great idea!

Making your own texturizing tools is easy.  Although there are many templates you can purchase (I have some on this site) that make this job even easier, you can make your own.  If you don’t have the money or just want to experiment to see if you even like Polymer Clay then make your own.

I am sure somewhere in your house either on one of your child’s toys or a decoration you have texture.  I use a house the kids bought me years ago for a Christmas Village to get most of my textures.

I take a piece of scrap clay (always save your scraps), and lay a flatten piece of it onto the texture I want to copy making sure it gets into all the groves and crevices. Make sure the clay is not too thin or it will fall apart on you.   I then carefully remove the clay and put it in the oven for the recommended time.  When it comes out I have made a template for textures.

When it comes time to use it, it works the same way as a template you will buy.  Although sometimes if you are not careful the template texture will not be well defined;  so make sure when making the template that you press firmly.
