Hi friends!
I know that now is the time to prepare gifts for Christmas, and I have an autumn theme ... But this thing can also become an original gift for a woman who loves handmade jewelry
I want to tell you how to make such a nice bracelet from polymer clay and semi-precious stones.
Maple leaves and acorns are an unusual combination, but my friend wanted such a bracelet, and I made her order
We will need:
polymer clay of autumn colors (orange, two colors brown, yellow and green)
flexible blade
thin pliers
Maple leaf pattern
mold with leaf imprint
needle or toothpick
and a few handmade pins with a loop
To create a variegated maple leaf pattern, I grind up the rest of the orange-brown cane.
Then I add other colors and grind with a blade the same way.
Gently crush the clay so that the colors smear, but do not mix and do not lose their saturation
Then I take one of the pins and bend the end of it using thin pliers.
and stick it in a piece of clay that I need for one maple leaf
I make this piece of clay flat, I put a maple leaf template on top
and below the mold with leaf's streaks
and cut out the sheet according to the template
then I apply veins on top with a needle
I remove it from the mold and bend it so that the sheet looks like it is alive
This is the downside, as a real too
I making a few of these maple leaves
To create an acorn, I take a piece of light brown color and stick it on the pin from the side of the loop
Then I roll out a flat dark brown fragment and put it on a pin - this will be an acorn cover
It remains only to apply a pattern to the cover using a blade.
I bake the finished elements in the oven for 30 minutes over the slowest heat
So, when all the details are ready, I start assembling the decoration
These are the things that I will need to assemble the decoration.
Now I need a chain for the bracelet of the right length
I also need connecting rings and stone chips (I chose jade, carnelian and tiger's eye)
Yes, something like this will look like
I use pliers to open the loop at the pin
and attach the leaf to the chain link, twisting the pin two turns
And I do this with all the leaves, evenly distributing them on the chain
I hook acorns between the leaves in the same way
I will attach stone chips using connecting rings
Yes, I also found oak leaves imitating copper, I decided that they would look good here
It remains only to pick up the clasp
It looks good already
But I will add a final detail, which will make the leaves look very similar to the real ones.
Raindrops
When the varnish dries, it becomes transparent and looks like real raindrops.
Here is such a beautiful female decoration turned out, reminiscent of the recently passed autumn
I hope you'll like it too!
Thanks for your attention!

Oh, what a beauty! And how long did it take you to make it? This is a piece of jewelry for fairies! I'm glad you showed me how to make it. I can imagine something similar from real ceramics, too. Once upon a time, I also used polymer clay, included minerals, and sold them at fairs. But I stopped long ago because the business was unprofitable.
Thanks a lot!
It took me two hours to sculpt and assemble.
But for the publication of the lesson, much more))))
Yes, for polymer clay jewelry to be successful, you need to make something extraordinary out of it.
Yay! 🤗
