Polymer Clay Flower Petal Cane Tutorial

Inspired by The Zipper Cane

Basic Materials

• 2-8 colors of Premo! polymer clay
  • I chose purple, fuchsia, pink, & white (Skinner Blend)
  • Light Purple (Stack)
  • Light Gold (Wrap & Stamen)
• Pasta machine
• Acrylic roller & acrylic block
• Your hands

Polymer Clay Flower Petal Cane Tutorial

• Prepare a delightfully juicy Skinner Blend (Mine is at right)
• Follow this tutorial for the Zipper Cane & stack your Skinner blend accordingly.
• When I made my Zipper Cane, before I stacked it, I backed my entire blend with a lighter purple shade to give depth & variation.

Assembling the Cane

• Stack your Skinner Blend as explained in the Zipper Cane.
• You will now have a long stack.
• Using your hands, manipulate this stack into a “U” shape.
• Begin to reduce until you have a large petal.
• Set your petal on end and divide into four sections to insert “stamen.”
• NOTE: I used a light gold, but by the time by petals were assembled, the gold was not enough of a contrast … I should have used orange.
• Wrap half of your cane in the stamen color for effect (I chose to wrap only the outside of what would be the finished petals).
• Now your cane is ready to reduce, slice, & use!
