Materials and tools:

  • Polymer clay (white or pearl)
  • Machine
  • Czextuder + LC Disk 8 (extension with 2 semicircles)
  • Scalpel, blade
  • Paper
  • Pencil, Compass, Protractor, Ruler

 

 

Step 1

Draw a circle with a compass. Then use a protractor to divide it into 9 parts (40° each).

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2

Connect the points to form 3 equilateral triangles.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3

Connect each vertex to 2 opposite vertices and the template is ready.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4

Condition polymer clay and put it into the Czextruder. Use the extension with 2 semicircles from LC Disk 8 and extrude the clay. Cut all extrusions into the same pieces (about 2 longer than your template). You will need 18 extrusions.

 

 

 

 

Step 5

Let’s make the star. Follow the same procedure as for drawing. Start with the first triangle. Press at joints and cut off the excess clay.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6

Make the other two triangles the same way. Press at all the joints.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 7

Again, connect each vertex to 2 opposite vertices.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 8

Complete the whole star and bake according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 9

After baking, place a second tile on the star to avoid bending. Let it cool down. Hang the star on a window or door and you are done.
