You Will Need
Polymer clay in your choice of 4 colors
[Choose contrasting, colors that are too close in tone are not as
distinct. Premo is my preferred brand]
Pasta machine
Clay extruder
Tissue blade
Ruler
Ceramic tile for baking
Wire or old eye pins for bead baking
Eye pins or hand formed wire bails for pendants
1. Choose 4 colors of polymer clay. Cut 1/8 block from each square.
Starting with the lightest color, knead clay in your hands to warm and
soften, pass through pasta machine on thickest setting.
2. Using a circle cutter that is slightly smaller than the diameter of
your extruder cut at least 5 circles of each color.
Stack the colored circles of clay into a column making sure that similar
colors are not right next to one another. Open the extruder all the way
and insert the stack into the chamber.
3. Put on the top and choose a shape for your ‘snake’ of clay [ circle
and square are best]
Extrude the entire chamber of clay into a snake making sure not to
twist it.
4. Cut the snake into equal sections with your tissue blade
