Polymer Fox Brooch

Step 1

Print out your fox template and cut out each triangular part.

Step 2

Roll out each color of clay using either a rolling pin or a pastry machine. Make sure they have the same thickness. Place your paper triangles on the corresponding clay, then cut out each piece of clay.

Step 3

Remove a strip of clay from the white rectangle you're going to reserve. Build your fox head by placing the snout part first on the white plate. Use the reserved strip of clay to make thin strips of about 1mm. Place these strips between each part of the head.

Step 4

In the same way, place strips all around the fox. Place some baking paper over your work and, using a card, erase the clay joints by making small circles.

Step 5

Take a strip of blue clay, roll it under your index finger to refine it, then cut 2 small similar parts to form the eyes and a small ball to form the tip of the snout. Place these elements in place, then smooth again with baking paper. You can trim the edges of your creation with your blade if your lines are slightly distorted. Bake at 120 degrees for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Apply a thick coat of varnish , leave to dry for 30 minutes before turning over your piece.

Step 7

Glue your brooch to the back of your fox, and wait a few hours before wearing it.
