Natural materials and natural stones are totally on trend in DIY costume jewelry. And marble is one of them! We love this beautifully veined noble stone. However, it is heavy to wear in a necklace, earrings or bracelet. The solution? Create an imitation marble effect in polymer clay!

After having shown you in another sheet how to make a black marble effect with polymer clay, we propose this time to discover how to make an imitation white marble effect. Follow the steps below to learn how to make a white marbled cane!
The marble effect is very easy to reproduce. Once you've mastered the technique, you can let your imagination run wild and use any color you like to create a DIY costume jewelry piece that looks just like you!

Tutorial steps

Step 1
Learn how to create a white marble effect in polymer : Step 1

Take 2 bars of your Cernit nature granit and 2 bars of white Fimo bread. Twist them together until you have a smooth mixture.

Step 2

Run your mixture through the dough machine on the wide side. (If you prefer, you can use a rolling pin, but your sheet will be less even.)
Cut the resulting sheet and stack the ends to form a block.

Step 3

Cut with the blade your block in several unequal parts.

Step 4
Learn how to create a white marble effect in polymer : Step 4

Make a mixture of black and white acrylics to obtain a gray.
Cover all the facets of the dough pieces with the paint in a light way.

Attention: it is advisable not to put too much paint, just enough, to succeed!

Step 5

Re-form your block by squeezing the ends in your hand. Set aside.

Note: the paint stays on your hands, which can give your dough a "messy" effect. You can scalp it with a blade or wipe it with a wipe moistened with household alcohol to remove the gray and have a clean white marble effect cane.

Bonjour, certaines personnes mettent de la Fimo ou sculpley liquide en plus dans leur créations marbré ? A quoi sert il, quel est son intérêt ? Merci d'avance

Bonjour, je pense que c'est pour remplacer la peinture dans le cas de la polymère liquide blanche ou apporter de la transparence avec la polymère liquide transparente.

Bonjour

J\'ai acheté tout le kit pour réaliser ces bijoux marbrés et suivi à la lettre les étape de votre tuto mais je n\'obtiens absolument pas le même résultat que vous. Je suis très déçue :\'( Pouvez vous détailler davantage les étapes? Notamment, comment passer de l\'étape 4 à l\'étape 5? En effet quand je rassemble tous les morceaux dans mes mains, la peinture forme un gris uniforme qui recouvre tous mon bloc. Faut il à ce moment la nettoyer le bloc avec du savon afin de retirer tout le surplus de peinture ? De plus comment passer de votre photo de l\'étape 5 qui est encore un peu \"sale\" au bloc parfaitement propre et contrasté de vos tutos?
Merci par avance pour votre aide
Cordialement

Réponse:
Bonjour, souvent lors de la manipulation entre l\'étape 4 et l\'étape 5 la peinture reste sur nos mains, ce qu\'il reste peut être scalpé à la lame, on peut aussi passer une lingette humidifiée d\'alcool ménager pour enlever le gris .Il ne faut pas trop mettre de peinture pour bien réussir .
