Tutorial steps
Scalp the relief with the flexible blade.
Prepare a sheet of black Glamour polymer clay in the middle notch of your clay machine.
Place your textured sheet on top and roll it out.
Remove any imperfections by smoothing the surface with a roller and baking paper.
Do the same with the red Cernit clay and the herringbone texture plate.
Using a 4 cm circle cutter, cut out a circle from the purple plate.
Using the same cookie cutter, remove a piece from the top of the round.
Using a bar of black Cernit Glamour polymer clay, make a plate, cutting it in 2 to overlap and be level with the purple plate. Cut a strip to fit over the top of the circle.
Take a half-round of red clay and place it on the black strip. Smooth with a rolling pin and baking paper.
Bake your piece on a light bulb for 20 minutes at 110 degrees.
On the rest of the red plate, take a round and remove the top and bottom ends with the cookie cutter, place the piece on the already-baked round, press to adhere. Lift the center slightly with a needle. Bake at 110° for 30 min.
Use the purple clay to make a ball, pierce it and insert eyelets on both sides to make a large hole. Bake for 30 min.
Start sanding with 1200-grit sandpaper, then move on to polishing with micro-mesh abrasive sponges. You can add a finishing lacquer to give your creation a shine.
Cut about 40 cm of buna cord, wrap it around the center with 4 turns of suede lace. Thread the round bead through the suedette lace, then the flat bead, finishing with the silver bead. Apply dots of glue to secure everything.
Glue the cord ends to the buna cord, pass the open rings and then the clasp.
