Polymer clay is a medium that makes it possible to create a thousand and one things and in particular to be able to imitate effects of matter. We have already been able to offer you to create a black and white marble effect.

Thanks to this technical sheet, you will learn how to make a cane imitation cork easily. Several loaves, acrylic paint and a little elbow grease and you will get a bluffing cork effect.

Once your cane is over, it's up to you to imagine projects. Perles & Co offers you to make a beautiful necklace torque with this cork. Find the tutorial by clicking here.

STEP 1

Cut your champagne-colored dough into 3 sections.

In the first section add 2 bars of caramel dough, for the second a bar of caramel dough and for the last only half a bar.

Mix the pastes of the 3 sections separately, passing them several times to the dough machine until a homogeneous color is obtained.

 

 

 

 

2ND STEP

Repackage your colored plates by making balls and then cylindrical blocks. Let cool your dough.

 

STEP 3

Cut thin slices into your blocks. Each slice is cut into strips to cut small triangles.

 

 

STEP 4

Add black acrylic paint in a small amount on the pieces of dough. Put on gloves to mix the paint with the dough as if you were making a short dough. The principle is to try to put paint on all the facets of the triangles, take off those that are glued together.

 

 

STEP 5

Take a big ball of this mixture and compress it in your hand, make to adhere the rest of ends in order to obtain a cylinder.

Compress your entire cane and scalp with your blade the film of paint that surrounds your cylinder.

Add a small amount of black acrylic paint to the pieces of dough. Put on gloves to mix the paint into the dough as if you were making shortbread dough. The idea is to try to get paint on all sides of the triangles, peel off the ones that are stuck together.
