Materials and tools:

  • Black polymer clay
  • Machine
  • LC Microstencils Set 7
  • Liquid clay / Liquid glue LC Glassymer
  • Blade
  • Sandpaper (Fine) / Fine steel wool
  • Acrylic paint (color of your choice)
  • Mini-drill
  • Wire

 

 

Step 1

Condition polymer clay. And run it through the machine at the thicker settings (about 3 mm). Cut 1 square in size of LC Microstencil.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2

Run LC Microstencil with a sheet of light scrap clay through the machine several times to remove black dust from them. Then run LC Microstencil with a sheet of clay through the machine to make a very clear texture. Cut out the excess clay and remove the LC Microstencil carefully. Repeat this step 3 times, you will have 4 textured squares in the size of LC Microstencil.

 

 

 

Step 3

Cut the edges of the smooth square at a 45° angle. Turn the textured squares, so the textured surface is facing down. Cut the bottom edge at a 45° angle and make a mark in the middle of the opposite edge.

 

 

 

 

Step 4

Cut the textured squares so you will have 4 triangles – cut them at a 45° angle. Be precise.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5

Place all parts in the correct position to make a pyramid and paint the edges with liquid clay.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6

Start lifting the pieces and make the pyramid. Squeeze the edges together and smooth them with your fingers. Make a hole on the top of the pyramid. Bake according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

 

 

 

 

Step 7

Paint it with acrylic color. Let dry. Rub with fine steel wool or fine sandpaper, so the paint stays only in stays in embossed areas. Drill a bigger hole on the top of the pyramid.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 8

Make a spiral from the wire.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 9

Place the spiral in the hole in the finished pyramid and your tillandsia holder is ready to use.
