First you need to choose a suitable image. It is desirable that it be black and white (I just haven’t tried it with color images yet). The picture needs to be printed on a laser (!) printer and cut to the required size. Now take a small piece of polymer clay. For such products, it is better to take high quality clay (Fimo, Premo, etc.).
Roll out the clay to the required thickness, apply the cut out picture and trim off the remaining clay around the edges. Having prepared all the blanks, you need to take formic alcohol (sold in pharmacies), wet a cotton swab with it and blot the image. Repeat this action 5 – 7 times, pressing quite hard.
Then you can proceed in different ways: either try to immediately carefully remove the paper (the image should be transferred to the clay) and then put the product in the oven, or bake it together with the paper.Both options are suitable - whichever is more convenient for you. The pieces should be in the oven for about 10 - 15 minutes at a temperature not exceeding 140 degrees.
We coat the finished products with a special varnish and bring them to the desired look using jewelry rings, earrings, etc. These are the amazing things you get in the end - a set of earrings and a brooch!
To be honest, it took me a while to be able to accurately and efficiently translate images. It is important to ensure that the entire picture adheres tightly to the clay!
