Polymer Clay Color Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 1 part White polymer clay
  • - 1 part Yellow polymer clay
  • - 1 part Red polymer clay
  • - 1 part Blue polymer clay
  • - 1 part Green polymer clay

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Begin by taking equal portions of the polymer clay colors you want to mix. For example, if you want to create a new shade of orange, start with 1 part Yellow and 1 part Red polymer clay.
  • Knead each color separately until they're soft and pliable. This guarantees that the colors will mix more easily and evenly.
  • Combine the kneaded pieces of polymer clay together. Use your hands to press them into a ball, ensuring that the colors are touching.
  • Start kneading the combined clay, applying even pressure until the colors blend together. Continue kneading until you achieve a uniform color throughout the mixture.
  • If you want to adjust the shade, add small amounts of one of the original colors (e.g., more yellow for a brighter orange) and repeat the kneading process until you reach your desired color.
  • Once you're satisfied with your custom color, roll it into a ball or shape it as desired for your project.
  • Extra Tips:
  • When mixing polymer clay colors, start with small amounts to avoid wasting materials.
  • Remember that colors can look different once baked, so always test a small piece before committing to a larger project.
  • Additionally, keep a notebook of your color recipes to easily recreate your favorite shades in the future!
