Polymer Clay Circus Pedestals

This simple pedestals are super fun and super easy. Follow these simple instructions to make your own instantly adorable pedestals.

• Choose three colors of clay. I have used pomegranate, blue pearl, and cadmium yellow.
• Fully condition each.
• Choose ONE color and roll it into a ball.
• Use an acrylic plate to compress the ball, making the top & bottoms flat.
• Remove the smashed ball from the acrylic.
• Roll a different color of clay on the thickest setting of your pasta machine.
• Use a cutter just smaller than the size of the ball and cut 2 rounds from that color.
• Place one round on the top and one round on the bottom of your smashed ball.
• Now run a 3rd color through your pasta machine on the 4th smallest setting.
• Cut out 7-13 stars (depending on the size of your smashed ball) using a star shaped cutter.
• Place the stars evenly all around the round part of the ball.
• Try to line all the stars up so their points match height and location.
• Bake in a dedicated polymer clay oven according to your brand’s directions.
• ENJOY!
