Things You'll Need:
- Block of white polymer clay
- Block of purple polymer clay
- Block of orange polymer clay
- Pasta Machine and other polymer clay tools
- 2¾-inch round cookie cutter
- Silver pigment inkpad
- Liquid polymer clay
-
Step 1
Form a log of all 3 colors into a ½-inch log. Run them through the pasta machine until a long length of the clay is about 3/32-inches thick. Now for a decorate look, take a rubber stamp that has writing on it and dip it into the silver ink. Then press lightly into the clay. Let the ink dry before handling the clay.

Step 2
Wrap the strip of clay around the cookie cutter to make the wall of the box, cutting the strip where it overlaps a little. Now blend the seam and trim any excess clay on the top and bottom of the cookie cutter.
-
Step 3
Bake with the cookie cutter to the manufactures instruction on the polymer clay. After it cools remove the cookie cutter and sand top and bottom lightly to ensure that they are even.

Step 4
Now we need to make the lid of the trinket box. Smooth out a square of the swirl clay to the same thickness. Place the side onto the square making sure there is plenty left over. Cut out around the shape to make the lid. Take a small piece of the purple and form into a nice size ball. Add a few drops of the liquid polymer clay.

Step 6
Now we need to make the bottom of the trinket box. Smooth out a square of the swirl clay to the same thickness. Place the side onto the square making sure there is plenty left over. Add some liquid polymer clay to the bottom of the round sides and place in the middle of the square. Trim carefully around the base.

Step 7
Roll a piece of just the purple into round snake-shape rope and place around the bottom of the base for a great trim. Bake this section according to the manufacture instructions.
