STEP-BY-STEP DIY POLYMER CLAY TUTORIAL: PETRA VILÍMKOVÁ “Knitted flower pot cover” MADE WITH CZEXTRUDER

July 30, 2020

Imitate a knitted pattern to create an original pot cover for your flower. This time I got inspired by a sweater pattern.

Materials and tools:

  • Polymer clay (gray)
  • LC Machine
  • Laminated working grid
  • LC Glassymer Glue or liquid clay
  • Czextuder + LC Disk 3 (extension with small holes) + LC Disk 14 (half rice extension)
  • Scalpel, blade
  • Tube mold

 

 

Step 1

Condition polymer clay and make a sheet about 2 – 3 mm thick. 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2

Cut the clay to achieve the desired size.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3

Wrap the sheet around the tube mold (edge to edge). I used a cardboard tube. 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4

Cut off the excess clay.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5

Smooth the joint with your fingers.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6

Make the bottom of the pot – place the tube on another sheet of clay.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 7

Cut off the excess clay. Then smooth it again and bake in the oven according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 8

Meanwhile, put the clay it into the Czextruder. Use the extension with small holes from LC Disk 3 and extrude the clay.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 9

Separate the strands. 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 10

Take 2 strands and twist them around each other. Continue this way with all strands. Twist all strands in the same direction.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 11

Apply liquid clay on the pot and place the first braid. Cut off the excess of the braid. Repeat.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 12

You can even make a bigger braid. Take 3 braids in one hand and 3 braids in your other hand and carefully twist them around each other. 

Cover about ⅓ of the surface with the braids. Then bake according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

 

 

 

 

Step 13

Cover another ⅓ of the surface and bake again.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 14

Finally, cover the rest of the surface and bake.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 15

Now cover up the joints on the edges. Extrude polymer clay – use the half rice disc from LC Disk 14. Use liquid clay and wind the extruded snake around the bottom edge. Cut off the excess clay and smooth the joint. 

 

 

 

 

Step 16

Then wind another braid around the joint and bake.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 17

The same way cover up the joints on the top edge. Then bake again.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 18

Place your flower inside. I filled the pot with small stones and placed Tillandsia inside.
