\"faux<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve always admired the sweet, dainty look of polymer clay faux embroidery and decided it was high time I made a few pieces of my own design.<\/p>\n

In today’s video I will teach you the basics, including how to quickly sketch out your own design. Those of you who are my patrons can download my sketches from my Patreon posts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In preparation for making this project I looked at a lot of examples of polymer clay faux embroidery. One thing I noticed was that they all had beautifully rounded and smooth bases. In the video I will also show you how to achieve that for yourself when filling a purchased bezel with clay.<\/p>\n

One neat trick I saw some other clayers use was to roll a nice, smooth round ball and then slice off a section or slice it in half to make their base. You could also use a cabochon mold such as this one from Sculpey<\/a>, to make your base. The nice thing about that is that they also have molds for making perfectly matching bezels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So have fun creating these projects in whatever form you like!<\/p>\n
