\"Sculpey<\/a>Video #700:<\/span> In this video, I also show how those rolled cardboard toilet paper centers, might come in handy when baking your clay.<\/span><\/strong> <\/p>\n

In this video I will show you the new Sculpey Design It Templates for polymer clay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Basically, these sets are plastic shape templates similar to a stencil, that you can use to cut out consistent shapes out of polymer clay.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two sets that are currently available, are the Jewelry Shapes set of 40 different designs… and the General Shapes set of 22 shapes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The jewelry shapes set are suited for jewelry projects and have graduated sizes that can be layered or stacked quite nicely.<\/span><\/p>\n

The General Shapes Set, has more frames, labels, and motifs such as leaves, hearts, keys, a flower, butterfly and bird… and are well suited for home decor pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both the positive and negative forms of the design can be used to cut out these shapes from polymer clay. The frosted plastic can be seen through for easy placement on your polymer clay sheets, but won’t get stuck to the clay or leave any flaws on the surface. Nice!<\/span><\/p>\n

I show different options for cutting out the shapes using an Exacto Knife, a Dental Tool and a Straight Pin. Plus, I show you how a toilet paper roll cut in half, makes the perfect form for baking your cutouts into a curved shapes.<\/span><\/p>\n

These templates can be found at Michaels, in many other craft stores and online.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
