1 Roll out some air dry clay, roughly 5mm
in thickness.

2 Press down the texture printing plate

into the clay. Any rubber or polymer

stamp will work perfectly for this too!

3 Cut a circle (or any other shape)

using a cookie cutter. Don’t forget to

use the ‘waste’ clay to make more

embellishments, otherwise it will go

hard and be unuseable.

4 Using an embossing tool (or old biro)
create two holes in the circle. Leave
overnight to dry and harden.

5 You may notice I decided to go with a

different textured button at this point!

Paint the button in two shades, making

sure all the textured areas have paint

coverage.

6 Once the paint is dry, carefully highlight

the raised areas with a little silver wax.

Step-by-step... Creating Texture

7 To create the printing blocks, take a
sheet of Essdee foam and lightly draw
a pattern. I’ve kept to circles, but of
course you can make whatever kind of
pattern you wish!

8 Using an embossing tool, press into the

Essdee foam, following the lines of the

patterns.

9 Cut closely around the edges of the

designs, so you have several printing

‘blocks’.
