Craft With Me Tutorial - Polymer Clay Image transfer Part 1

My two worlds collide in this super fun project using vintage book illustrations and polymer clay! With a minimal amount of supplies (less than $20) and no experience needed, you can make beautiful DIY wall hangings, tags Etc. with professional looking results. It's fun, it's creative and it's addicting. Polymer clay bakes in your own oven or a toaster oven, so it's a project anyone can do at home.

This is typical of the type of class I run at Wild Salamander Arts Center & a perfect project to do while stuck inside during a worldwide pandemic. ;-)

I found the images you see on the Public Domain Website:

*IMPORTANT NOTE:
YOU MUST USE IMAGES PRINTED ON A LASER PRINTER

This project and class is perfect for Adults and Teens, and I believe a parent could do this with a younger child as a parent-child activity, however this video was not intended as a child class.
