Polymer clay is one of my favorite materials to work with. It’s incredibly versatile if you just get creative enough. I was inspired by these rings, but with a twist. Add some paint and you can make rings in all sorts of shapes and colors.

What you’ll need:

-Polymer Clay
-Xacto Knife
-Crazy Glue
-Acrylic Paint and Paintbrush
-Ring Blanks

1. Start by kneading the clay until it is soft. This will make it easier to shape later.
2. Roll the clay into small balls. Mine varied in size of about a 1/2″ to 3/4″ in diameter.
3. Put the rolled balls into the freezer for about 20 minutes to harden.

4. Next use the Xacto to cut the base of the shape. Continue cutting of the rounded edges until you are left with only straight edges.
5. Following the instructions on the wrapper, bake your clay shapes.

6. Tape off sections of the shape (optional) and paint them any color you like.

7. Once the paint has dried, glue the base of the clay shape to the top of the ring blank. Let dry.

And you’re done! You can paint the shapes one color or combine multiple colors for a different look.
