Ring with butterfly

A homemade ring with a colorful butterfly is a decoration that is perfectly suitable as an accessory in the spring and summer. Such a product will invariably attract the views of others and draw their attention to its owner.
Making a butterfly from polymer clay, which will later serve as an element that complements the ring, can be made by both an experienced craftsman and a novice in modeling, if he follows the recommendations given in the master class.

To make a butterfly full of colors and interesting patterns, the remains of clay blocks of various colors are perfect. In this example, the clay used is white, raspberry, blue, orange, yellow with golden glitter and light green clay with the same shiny effect. You will also need a base ring and a paper stencil of a small butterfly, based on which you can take any butterfly drawing from the Internet, print it and cut it out along the contour.

Knead each colored clay piece (leaving a small piece of yellow clay untouched) and roll it into a sausage. We arrange the resulting sausages in the order in which we will assemble the flowers.The order of colors can be arbitrary, the main thing is that the colors in order are harmoniously combined with each other.

We connect the sausages together, if necessary, flattening them a little during the assembly process.

We twist the resulting element along its own axis into a “spring”.

We twist the clay “spring” in a spiral.

We turn the workpiece over to the other side and gradually flatten it, carefully stretching the edges.

We continue to stretch the disk on both sides until it turns into a rectangle.

Again we twist into a “spring”.

And then - into a “spiral” made of polymer clay.

The resulting blank does not at all resemble the bright patterned wings of a butterfly, but when we cut it and unfold the halves symmetrically, we discover an interesting pattern, unique and inimitable.

We crush and stretch the clay elements a little to make them thinner, and put on them a stencil cut along the axis - the left and right wings.

We cut out the wings along the contour, place the blanks on foil and bake for 10 minutes at the temperature specified in the instructions for the clay.

Meanwhile, we sculpt antennae from the remaining yellow clay.

And we begin to sculpt the butterfly’s body. We make sure that all elements match each other in size.

We give the baked wings time to cool, we stick the finished body with attached antennae on top of them, trying to maintain the connection of the wings at an angle of 100-120° in the process. We send the workpiece to bake for 20 minutes.

Glue the butterfly, cooled after baking, to the base ring using any suitable glue. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry with a unique color pattern on the butterfly wings.
