Transform your polymer clay sheets with this VeroS Transfer Sheet No. 334, a water-soluble paper that lets you transfer a printed pattern onto your DIY creations before baking.
This transfer sheet adheres directly to the raw clay thanks to its water-soluble paper backing, which simply dissolves upon contact with water, leaving the printed image on the surface. Pattern No. 334 features a leopard print in subtle, contrasting shades, perfect for adding a unique touch to your creations. The sheet measures 13.5 x 9 cm, a practical size that allows you to make several pieces from a single sheet. It is single-use only: designed for one-time use.
This transfer sheet is used on a sheet of polymer clay that has been rolled out and smoothed before baking. Once the paper has dissolved and the clay has dried, simply cut out the desired shapes to create polymer clay pendants, earrings, or brooches. The result is clearer on light-colored clay. To take it a step further, check out a tutorial on making polymer clay earrings with transfers to learn how to easily incorporate this technique into your DIY projects.
How do you use soluble transfer sheets for polymer clay?
- Roll out your Fimo clay using a rolling pin or a polymer clay machine.
- Cut out the pattern and place it on the clay, making sure the surface is smooth and clean (before baking).
- Smooth it out with your fingers or gently with the rolling pin to remove any air bubbles. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes so the ink transfers onto the clay.
- Spray water onto the transfer sheet or run the sheet directly under a low-temperature faucet (a light stream of water is sufficient). Rub with your finger to remove any remaining paper. Once the paper has dissolved, the image will remain on the polymer clay.
- Let it dry for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Quickly cut the sheet to size as needed and apply it to your chosen surface. Handle the clay carefully, avoiding contact with the image.
- Bake your polymer clay as usual, at the temperature specified by the manufacturer.
- If any paper residue remains after baking, you can remove it by running your piece under water (with a light stream) and gently rubbing it with your finger.
Whether you’re new to polymer clay or already have experience, the website offers technical guides and tutorials to walk you through each step: choosing tools, preparing the clay, cutting techniques, finishing touches… Everything you need to progress at your own pace and enhance your DIY projects.
Water-soluble paper is a bio-based material made from wood pulp fibers sourced from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and a natural cellulose ingredient. When the material comes into contact with water, the cellulose-based ingredient dissolves, and the wood pulp fibers separate and remain. This revolutionary technology is readily biodegradable in accordance with OECD Standard 301B. Microorganisms and bacteria then help break down the wood pulp fibers even further, allowing for complete biodegradation.
