Tiered Trinket Box in Polymer Clay, a Tutorial

NB. at 24 minutes I mean tent in foil, not 'clay'! Thanks Rosie for spotting that :)
I had such great fun creating this box and really hope you enjoy making one too. This is however, a long, step by step tutorial on how to make this pretty patterned, 2-tiered trinket box from scratch. If you are looking for something quick this may not be for you 😉. But, if you want lots of great tips and techniques throughout to help you achieve the box base, the detailed cane, and then how to add the cane to create a good match, then relax, settle down and enjoy the video 😊

If you only want to make a box, go to 13.45 minutes.

If you only wish to create the cane, see the clay at 10 minutes, and the Making of the Cane at 36 minutes.

If you want to add a pattern that matches, go to Covering the Box at 1 hr 19.20 minutes.

I also cover converting a cookie cutter to a box template at 6.40 minutes.
The Oval Cutter and the CaneCaps I mentioned, are all from the Tiny Pandora Crafting Boutique, and can be found here: https://tinypandora.com/ .

If you are in the UK, then the Cane Savers from PCUK Tools can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/pcuktools/ They now have a new Etsy shop too - https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/PCUKTools?ref=search_shop_redirect

The small round cutters can either be bought in a set specifically used for polymer clay from many shops on Etsy, (I originally got mine from MyMandarinDucky on Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/211379943/dottie-tool-set-for-polymer-clay-circle?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=dottie+cutters&ref=sr_gallery-1-2&organic_search_click=1&bes=1 ) but I have also bought them direct off eBay, where you can search under ‘Cord Pin End Crimp Terminal Wire Copper Connectors’ to find similar cutters, but you will get a huge amount all the same sizes.

For the mini screws, search under Eye Pins or Eyelet Screws, here is just one of many examples available at an online site - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Haobase100pc...
