Polyform Products representative syndee holt* shows how to create unique napkin rings
(see photo at right) and provides tips for making solid, marbelized or striped rings.
Plain Napkin Rings
Materials:
Sculpey Premo clay (gold, ultramarine blue, violet, white and copper--half of a 2-oz. pkg. will make one ring)
Steps:
- Roll out a thin coil of clay (figure A).
- Knot the clay, then bake it.
Striped Napkin Rings
Materials:
Sculpey Premo clay (gold, ultramarine blue, violet, white and copper--half of a 2-oz. pkg. will make one ring)
- Stack layers of the selected colors for the stripes. The thickness of the layer determines the width of the stripe.
- Cut stack in half and restack on top of each other (figure B). Press back to original size. Repeat these two steps until stripes are smaller.
- Make even slices of the stripes.
- Lay the stripes in alternating pattern along a solid core of color.
- Squeeze to seal and roll/pull out to diameter for ring. Cut a 10-inch length and tie into knot.
- Bake as directed, then use.
