Take 3 bars of white clay and roll out into a thin sheet, or use a notch 4 pastry machine.
Ink your butterfly stamp and, without pressing too hard, transfer the pattern to the plate.
Wait a few minutes for the ink to dry. Mark your clay by pressing the box down on the plate so that the circle is visible. Be careful to frame your design correctly.
Cut out the round shape on the clay with your blade. Place your circle in the center of the box, using a blade to remove the edges of the clay, so that the circle is the same size as the box.
Bake the box and polymer together in the oven at 110 degrees for 30 min. Once the clay has cooled, varnish it by removing it from the base. 2 coats are required.
Apply glue to the box and attach the butterfly to it.
Tip: Don't wait too long to glue your part to the box, as the polymer reacts to heat and the thin layer of our part may curl slightly.
