Summary
I absolutely love spring, and most of the jewelry I make incorporates flowers, so I was looking for a fun way to incorporate tiny polymer clay flowers into an easy project. These polymer clay slices also come in fruit shapes, which are super cute. I was so inspired I spent hours on YouTube learning how to make my own…wish me luck! This project is intended for ages 12+, and I would highly recommend adult supervision. The polymer slices are tiny and look like candy, so young children might try to eat them. Also, the solvent cement REQUIRES adequate ventilation. The project can also be done with Super Glue, which is safer if ventilation is not easily achieved. This version uses transparent acrylic, which works with the P2, but you could also use opaque acrylic on any other xTool laser cutter.
