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!
