How to make an abstract marbled polymer clay soap dish in lovely pastel colors

First, gather the materials:

various clay colors that will match your style and décor
clay sculpting tools
small brush
metallic paint of your favorite color for the rim

Polymer clay in pastel blue, purple, yellow, and pink.

First cut out some of the clay, in various colors. I am using pastel yellow, purple, blue, and pink. Cut approximately 3/4 to one inch length and 1/2 inch thick piece of each of the clay colors. This will be enough for one abstract jewelry bowl.

Roll the clay into strings, then align the strings together and twist. Make the twist into a circle and roll it out with the roller. Repeat this step at least one more time.

To create a marbled look continue to mix the colors together with the hands until you get the color pattern you desire. In this polymer clay soap dishes DIY I used two different patterns. For one of the patterns I mixed four times, this gave a more intricate design. For the second soap dish, I kept the colors a lot larger than the first design.

Then smooth out with your hand and with a roller or glass jar to about 1/4 inch thick. To bake the polymer clay soap dishes and create an intricate form, place them in a ramekin and shape the edges.

The shaping of the edges is what gives that unique fun look.

Usually, the wrapping of the oven-baked clay will provide the specific temperature and time required in the oven. The polymer clay that I used in this soap dish DIY state to heat the oven to a temperature of 275 degrees F and 15 minutes for each 1/4 inch.

Once the oven has reached the desired temperature place the polymer clay soap dishes in the oven. Set a timer for the recommended time. Once the recommended time in the oven has been reached, remove the soap dishes from the oven and allow them to cool.

Once the polymer clay soap dishes are out of the oven allow them to cool.

Lastly, paint the rim with a color that will create contrast and maintain a unique and fun look.
