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

Welcome to week three of our Christmas Charms series. I hope you are enjoying getting to know these polymer clay techniques. This week we’re making a cute little snowman.<\/p>\n

In the video I show you how to make life easier by building your\u00a0charm\u00a0in sections and prebaking the\u00a0pieces. I also show a neat trick for\u00a0making the hat band easily, rather than fiddling with tiny strips of clay. (I tried that, not fun!)<\/p>\n

Each week I’ve been trying to show you different ways to add interest and texture to your projects. Feel free to switch them up: you could apply the flocking to a\u00a0mitten, or add the knitted texture to the\u00a0Christmas stocking. Of course, you can flock just about anything. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

If you’re thinking about doing more flocking, this might be a fun set,\u00a0Martha Stewart Crafts Glitter Flocking Powder, 12-Pack<\/a>\"\". There are also small packages such as Nail Art Velvet Flocking Powder<\/a>\"\" on Amazon for nail art. (Are people\u00a0flocking<\/em> their nails these days? Apparently so.)<\/p>\n

If you can’t find flocking, you could add\u00a0Perfect Pearls<\/a>\u00a0or even try embossing powders. \u00a0(If you decide to add Perfect Pearls, you don’t need to add the TLS first, btw. Mica powders stick just fine to unbaked clay and then stay on after baking. )<\/em><\/p>\n

Experiment and see what works. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Enjoy the video and happy creating!<\/p>\n
