Tenth Day of Christmas

The Tenth Day of Christmas crafts
 
Decorating a light switch cover with polymer clay
 
 
 
 
 
 
Items used:
light switch cover
polymer clay
 

 
 
 
 
 
This one is fairly self explanatory with the pictures. If you are interested in making a clay cane I found good instructions here http://www.polymerclaycentral.com/braincane.html

 
 
 

 
After you make your cane you can cut your slices and then start adding them to the switch plate.
 
 
 
 
 
After adding all the slices you can flatten it out with your fingers and run your roller over it to smooth it out. Cut out your holes with a sharp knife. Then follow directions on your clay to bake. Yes you can bake the plate it will not melt.

 
 
 
After baking you can sand it and add some mod podge or your choice of finish and shine it up. Remember to turn off the electricity when you install. You could make matching plates for all the rooms in your house.
Well its late and I'm tired. Got to get up and do more apple, slice baking.
night all
