Step 5Cover the core
With some "scrap" unbaked polymer clay (for example from the cane ends) add some butt pieces to the core. You can make them rounded or give them another shape, but you will need some material in which you can make a hole for the lace.
Cut slices from the cane, with a thickness of about 3mm, and completely cover the shape with them.
By applying a little pressure carefully flatten the pieces a little to close the gaps,. Do not try and close the gaps in one squeeze, but gently go round and round the workpiece slowly closing the gaps. While doing, constantly choose change the area where you apply pressure, in order to correct the general shape of the workpiece. Continue till all gaps are gone and you have obtained the desired shape.
