Make a pretty jar with a fitting lid with polymer clay, molds, and stamping tools

It is so fun and easy to create something to keep or give as a gift with simple tools and polymer clay!

I used Sculpey Souffle- the main color is Latte, with a little Cowboy and Key Lime mixed in for the main color of the jar. I mixed a little of that color into Premo Accents Gold for the band around the jar, and used straight Key Lime to create accents. PolymerClayTV metal stamping tools provided texture, a scallop border cutter made the right shape, and the floral medallion mold was the perfect thing to create the lid for the jar.

Beautiful Bollywood plaque

Using molds to create can be so much fun. Use your imagination to flip things around- for example, when you look at this mold you may see "jewelry" but I saw something else! I saw a crown for an Indian princess, and it felt very zen to me. So I flipped it over and added a face. Then I created my own background using punchinella and ink. Enjoy!

How to create angel tassel doll with polymer clay

So I pulled a bunch of supplies out and laid them on the desk. They were mainly from Combo Deal # 2,  and I was trying to inspire myself to use a limited number of supplies. I love the Sari Ribbon I purchased on Etsy a while back and wanted to incorporate it somehow and use it to give me a color palette. And my Face mold from Sculpey is always on my table, I love faces and they find their way into my artwork a lot.

The Frilled Carnation cutters looked like a halo or flower to me and a face in a flower sent me on my way... And then of course I usually make a pair of earrings no matter what I'm doing, it's a fun habit- to push the edges of what I'm doing and make something simple and symmetrical at the same time. Plus it gives me LOADS of earrings to wear, I love earrings! Watch the tutorial below-
