These beautiful boxes with filigree detail are so sweet and fun, yet surprisingly easy to make. Just 2 plain sheets of Polymer Clay and away we go. I take you through the whole process step by step with tips and techniques throughout. So, sit back, relax, and watch the process unfold.

The small round cutters can either be bought in a set specifically used for polymer clay from many shops on Etsy, (I originally got mine from MyMandarinDucky on Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/211379943/dottie-tool-set-for-polymer-clay-circle?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=dottie+cutters&ref=sr_gallery-1-2&organic_search_click=1&bes=1 ) but I have also bought them direct off eBay, where you can search under ‘Cord Pin End Crimp Terminal Wire Copper Connectors’, to find similar cutters, but you will get a huge amount all the same sizes.

If you do not have a pasta machine you can roll the sheet of clay between two even stacks of playing cards. Setting 8/9 on my machine is 1 playing card thickness, setting 6/7 is 2 cards and setting 3 is 5 cards, setting 2 is 6 cards and setting 0 is 8 cards thickness.
Thank you so much for watching.
