Free Tutorial: Polymer clay Phone and Card Holder

Hello friends! 

In this video tutorial, I want to share with you my technique of creating a Reach look Phone and Card Holder totally from polymer clay Kato and Premo. It came out very strong and durable with an expensive look!

Tools and materials:

• Hand made cardboard base for the phone holder;
• Polymer clay Premo – bronze color;
• Polymer clay KATO – black color;
• Super thin silicone texture sheets;
• Polyclay paste (KATO) or liquid clay;
• Pan Pastels – black;
• Gilders Paste – inka gold;
• Polymer clay blades;
• Polymer clay acrylic roller;
• Pasta machine;
• Ruler and craft knife;
• Deli paper;
• Modeling tools.

How to make a base template for the phone holder

Creative polymer clay process:

1. Step 1. Conditioning and texturing the clay.
   When I conditioning the clay I add a softener in the clay. So the clay becomes more flexible and easy for manipulations… The bronze sheet of clay thickness is around 1,5mm, I rolled it on setting #3 of my Atlas150. After that, I put the sheet of clay through the pasta machine with my super-thin texture sheet for leather imitation (I used set #2).
   The black Kato clay I rolled on setting #2 of my Atlas150 – it is nearly 1,6mm.
   
2. Step 2. Trimming the clay for needed size.
   After all prepared, we can start to make the first part of the phone holder. I decided to make the phone and cards holder around 10cm wide. So I trimmed both sheets of clay in nearly 10cm wide. The textured sheet of clay I put on the top of black clay. I also made fake stitching on a surface, but you can decorate it on your own mind.
   Now it is ready for 1st baking! I will bake it 40 minutes at 155″C, starting from a cold oven.
   
3. Step 3. Creating the bottom part of the phone/cardholder! I did the same manipulation with clay as I did for the top part. The leather texture I used will be in stock very soon.
   
4. Step 4. Gathering together Top and Bottom of the phone holder!
   Before I will gather two part of the case I need to be sure that everything is fit good together!
   Then I’m applying the liquid clay/paste on the baked part of the holder and glue it to the raw clay. I’m pressing all the sides of the holder to be sure it is glued well! Before the next baking, I’m checking everything many times.
   Now it is ready for baking, and I will bake it on a flat surface on a paper (glass), I will bake it 40 min at 155″C and after baking I will cool it down in the cold water.
   
5. Part 5. Finishing the phone and business cardholder.
   After baking, I covered the surface with Gilders paste again and then I sprayed it with the gloss and satin clear acrylic varnish.
   
6. And now we have done it!
