This
week we are building on the skill we talked about last week. If you
remember last week we talked about easy ways to make sure you were
getting consistent results when you rolled out your polymer clay.
This week we are taking that a step further and talking about making
consistent portions of clay.
When
might you need to use this skill might be the first question to come
to your mind. The answer is anytime you want to make multiple items
that are the same size. Things like batches of cookies, berries, and
so many more that I can't list them.
The
secret is to roll the clay out to a consistent thickness and use a
cutter (any shape) to cut pieces. If your clay is a consistent
thickness and you use the same cutter to cut it all the pieces will
be the same size. They will have the same amount of clay. If you
find that your portions of clay are the wrong size for your project
it is easy to adjust. You can either make the clay thinner (or
thicker) and/or use a different cutter to cut it.
