Best Of Diys | Polymer Gift Tags

Continuing on amongst our Best of DIYs this summer, I loved this projection past times Mitsy of the lovely store together with spider web log ArtMind . These polymer gift tags were initially made for a Valentine's feature, but could travel made into pendants, marriage ceremony favours, etc.  Check out her amazing tutorial below:



In July, I saw the novel telephone substitution plan on Totally Tutorials. The thought behind it is that suppliers offering supplies inward telephone substitution for a tutorial. As yous all know, I honey making tutorials & I honey supplies together with then I didn't conduct maintain to intend twice. I applied for the overnice laid of 1.5mm letter/number stamps from Evie's Tool Emporium. They arrived really shortly after she decided who was going to teach them, but I was together with then busy preparing for the arts and crafts fairs that I didn't conduct maintain much fourth dimension to play around amongst them. Well, fourth dimension has come upward to exhibit yous what I did amongst them...
I used polymer clay (Fimo) to create gift tags from them. I decided to drive white together with dark together with run into what the results were.


Here is what yous need:

Metal stamping letters/numbers set, polymer clay, acrylic paint, apartment wooden sticks, ceramic tiles or glass, cookie cutters, rolling pin, embossing tool or fatty needle, newspaper plate, paintbrush together with a cloth.

Take a slice of polymer clay together with soften it spell kneading.

Put the apartment wooden sticks on the ceramic tile (makes it easier to transfer to the oven) together with scroll amongst the rolling pivot over the clay together with then that it's nice, apartment together with even.



When yous rolled out a piece, elevator it upward carefully together with transfer it to some other tile together with then yous tin scroll out to a greater extent than piddling clay slabs.

Punch amongst your cookie cutters, figures out of the polymer clay slab.

I made ii sets inward dark together with white clay.

Before yous stat using your missive of the alphabet postage stamp set, wipe it off amongst a soft cloth. The stamps are a chip oily to brand certain they don't commencement to rust.



Before yous commencement stamping, drive your postage stamp on a sample of Polymer clay.
This means yous know how difficult yous conduct maintain to press the postage stamp to teach effect together with it volition also travel expert to run into if you're non belongings the postage stamp upside down.

Hold the metallic stamptool every bit direct every bit possible together with press lightly into the clay.

Here is what I stamped...

If yous click on this motion painting below, yous volition run into amend what I stamped on the clay.

Take your embossing tool or needle to punch a hole inward the clay.

Carefully conduct maintain the slice of clay off the ceramic tile together with punch amongst your embossingtool or needle on the backside of the clay together with then that the hole tin travel used.

Preheat your oven to 110°C or read the instructions on the packaging of the polymer clay yous are using.

Put the ceramic tiles amongst the clay pieces inward the oven for thirty minutes
and permit it cool downwards afterwards. It's laid to purpose when they experience cold.

Put some acrylic pigment on a newspaper plate together with pigment the sides together with front end of the clay.

Let it dry out for a while.

When it's dry, rub it amongst a damp stuff together with then that nearly of the pigment volition come upward off again.

The harder yous rub, the to a greater extent than pigment volition come upward off.

Here is some other instance amongst gilded acrylic paint. Paint it.

Rub the pigment away amongst a damp cloth.

Ready!

Here are some results on the white together with dark clay. On the white ones, the pigment doesn 't await actually expert I intend but I honey the dark ones. On the white ones, the pigment but looks a chip dirty... It land is best to purpose this technique amongst colored polymer together with contrasting paint.

I made a piddling packet amongst really sparse metallic wire. I twist the wire around a needle to create a tiny spiral.

I used chrochet thread to roll double around the package.

You tin also brand it an ornament.

Wrap lots of chrochet thread around the packet together with add together the clay label.

Only roll thread around 1 border together with attach the clay gift tag.

In instance yous conduct maintain a difficult fourth dimension getting the sparse thread through the piddling hole, here's a tiny play a trick on that makes it super easy...

Cut a modest slice of metallic wire.

Fold the metallic thread inward one-half together with position the thread inward between.

Stick the metallic thread through the piddling hole of the clay.

See how slow it is, yous don't fifty-fifty require spectacles for that! :)

I honey the white, untreated gift tags best, they sort of await similar porcelain clay...

There are lots of possibilities amongst this metallic missive of the alphabet postage stamp laid together with I can't hold back to purpose it for my ceramic function too. If yous similar to drive it for yourself, don't hesitate together with monastic enjoin a laid of your ain at EviesToolEmporium. I garantuee yous lots of pleasance amongst it! :)
Michele from EviesToolEmporium also gave away a metallic letterstamp laid to a jewelry designer who used it to postage stamp metal. She made a piddling video montage together with it's awesome, yous tin detect that tutorial here.
