Polymer Clay Shamrock Pin

Polymer Clay Shamrock Pin

Here’s a little polymer clay pin that I designed last year and taught as a class. So just for you I’ll show you how to do it yourself!

You’ll need:

black polymer clay
translucent polymer clay (I used Lisa Pavelka Signature Art Clay by Viva Decor)
metal leaf (silver or gold is ok)
alcohol inks in yellow and green
mini heart-shaped cutter (found in the cake decorating aisle)
2 part epoxy resin (I like ICE Resin)
Pin back
“Super”-type glue (I like Poly Bonder by Lisa Pavelka)
Polymer clay tools such as an Xacto blade, tissue blade, acrylic roller

Condition and roll out your black clay to 1/8 inch thick cut a 2 ich square. Set aside
