Details
This cardinal polymer clay cutter makes a slim red bird with a pointed crest and a long tail, ready for winter and Christmas earrings. One press cuts the cardinal and imprints the leaf sprig on its wing, the eye and the beak line.
I love how the embossed lines take paint, mica powder or a soft wash, so the folk pattern stands out on finished earrings, pendants and ornaments.

How to use
- Roll your clay to about 2.5-3 mm (1/8 in) thick.
- Optional: lay plastic wrap over the clay for soft, rounded edges.
- Press straight down firmly, give a small wiggle and lift.
- If clay sticks in the fine lines, dust the cutter with cornstarch or chill the clay for a few minutes first.
