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!
