Image transfer on polymer clay

Image Transfer on Polymer Clay to Create a Fun Butterfly Box

It's easier than you think to transfer images on polymer clay. Join me on Polymer Clay TV as I show you just how easy it is to work with Magic Transfer Paper that has already been printed with designs. The design I use is from the March Create Along box and is called Bollywood Butterfly. I like to combine techniques for really unique looks. 

If you are used to rubbing and rubbing to try and get the paper off you are going to be blown away by just how easy this is! The images come pre printed in our line called Color Me Magic Transfer Paper or you can print your own designs or images in black and white or color with a laser printer on the blank sheets of Magic Transfer Paper. So as I always say the sky is the limit!

I also learned something this time and that is that you can silkscreen on your clay and let it dry and then add a transfer on top. This lets the silkscreen show through the image for a super cool look. 

You can use markers on baked or unbaked clay images, you can use pigments or inks as well. There are so many ways to jazz up the designs not to mention adding crystals or a little bling. Have fun creating!

Want to win this cute little box I made? Just comment below with thoughts, ideas or something you want to share and I will choose a random winner on Sunday. 

Congrats to our last winner from my post, Linda Hanson! Good luck!

Very beautiful, love the butterfly box. I have only tried a few image transfers for pins that I have made. Now i must try them on my journal covers with some UV resin. Oh, the possibilities!
