Learning To Make Polymer Clay Ceiling Fan & Light Pulls - A Great Way To Customize Your Own
By Ilysa Bierer
Polymer clay is so versatile you can even make your own ceiling fan or light pulls with it. Finding the right color or style is often hard to do, so why not make your own out of polymer clay and get exactly what you want. You can take scrap polymer clay and add millefiori cane slices or rubber stamped designs, you can add glitter, ink, powdered pigments and so much more to achieve exactly what you want. All you have to do is find the right length of chain for your project and embed a few links into the clay by poking a hole at the top of a ball of clay with a bamboo skewer or knitting needle. Fire in your home oven at the recommended temperature of the brand of polymer clay you use (under 300 degrees F).
These small touches can really add to your decor and of course they make great gifts. You can change your style any time you want for a very small investment, in fact under $1.00. This is a great project to try with the kids. Let them make ones to coordinate with their room or favorite color. They can add their own touch and feel great about it. This project would also be great for kids or adult parties, there is little mess and lots of fun!
You can find polymer clay under the some of the following brand names, Fimo, Premo, Sculpey, Sculpey111, Kato Clay, Studio By Sculpey. They each have their own properties with Fimo Classic being the hardest of the polymer clays. Kato Clay and Premo would be the next in hardness, with Sculpey being the softest and least durable. I have had success with Fimo Classic and Premo brands but I recommend experimenting to see what works best for you and your project.
