Metal Armature For Polymer Clay

"How do you support polymer clay to create a custom shape? This tutorial will show you how to use aluminum sheets to support clay while baking. It can also become a permanent element in the baked project as shown in the large leaves pictured on this page. This tutorial also details how to make, texture and color the leaves. The metal is soft enough to shape with your hands and will hold its shape even when clay is draped on it as with the leaves. Use them for soap dishes, jewelry trays and more. "
