# 1. Prepare the Clay
\n– Knead the clay until soft and pliable.
\n– If using polymer clay, condition it by rolling and stretching until smooth.
\n– For air-dry clay, keep it moist by covering unused portions with a damp cloth.<\/p>\n
# 2. Roll Out the Clay
\n– Place the clay between two sheets of parchment paper or on a smooth surface.
\n– Roll it to an even thickness (~1\/4 inch \/ 6mm) using a rolling pin.<\/p>\n
# 3. Cut Out Shapes
\n– Use cookie cutters or a craft knife to cut out shapes (e.g., stars, hearts, circles).
\n– If freehanding, sketch a design first and carefully cut along the lines.<\/p>\n
# 4. Add Details & Texture
\n– Press silicone molds onto the surface for patterns.
\n– Use toothpicks, stamps, or lace to imprint textures.
\n– Create small holes at the top with a skewer for hanging.<\/p>\n
# 5. Let It Dry\/Cure
\n– Air-dry clay: Let sit for 24\u201348 hours until completely hard.
\n– Polymer clay: Bake according to package instructions (usually 15\u201330 mins at 230\u2013275\u00b0F \/ 110\u2013135\u00b0C).<\/p>\n
# 6. Sand & Smooth Edges
