Things You'll Need:
- Sculpey
- Polymer clay slicer
- Stamps (optional)
- Acrylic paint
- Paint brush
-
Step 1
Roll out the Sculpey until it is your desired thickness. A typical tile is approximately 1/4 of an inch thick.
-
Step 2
Use a polymer clay slicer to cut out the appropriate tiles. Tiles can be any shape or size. Use the polymer clay slicer to even out irregular edges and excess material from the tiles.
You can leave tiles blank, but if you want to give a tile texture or to impress images into the surface of the tile, do so now. Using stamps or household objects, stamp impressions into the top of the tile. Then, with the polymer clay slicer, fix the tile edge if necessary. Sometimes stamping images into the tile will warp and bend the edges of an unbaked tile. -
Step 3
Following the directions on the box, bake the tiles at the appropriate temperature for the appropriate length of time.
-
Step 4
Remove the tiles from the oven and allow them to cool.
-
Step 5
Use a paint brush and acrylic paint to decorate the tile.
For a textured look, wipe away some of the fresh paint with a sponge or cloth. If the tile is textured or stamped, this will help reveal the texture of the tile. While some paint will stay in the cracks and crevices of the tile, paint on the surface will be wiped partially away. Allow the tile to dry. -
Step 6
If desired, paint a second layer over the first layer. Paint spots, diamonds, or checkerboard designs on the tile after the first coat has dried.
