Diamond clay cutter

”Timantit ovat ikuisia” ei välttämättä pidä askartelumassaleikkurin kohdalla paikkaansa, mututa nämä timantit ovat ainakin parhaita ystäviä! Leikkureita on 6 eri kokoa.

The pictures show the two smallest sizes, 1.5 cm and 2 cm wide/high cutter. The clay sheet is 2.5 mm thick. The cutters show how the clay gets stuck in the small holes. Pieces have been cut with cling film between the clay sheet and the cutter. This also makes the diamond stand out nicely.

Cutter sizes measured from the inside, width:

1: 1.5 cm

2: 2 cm

3: 2.5 cm

4: 3 cm

5: 3.5 cm

6: 4 cm

The cutter has a patterned surface, which is best used with a 2.5 mm thick ground sheet. In this case, the pattern is pressed into the clay by 1 mm.

The cutter needs a little more pressure than a metal cutter. The cutting edges will be sharp and precise. You can also use cling film or a piece of plastic bag in between the cutter and the polymer clay, if you want rounder edges.

The polymer clay cutters are printed in Finland, from plant-based, biodegradable plastic. The cutter must not be heated or put in the oven. The cutter starts to soften at around 60 degrees Celsius.

Clean the cutter after use, wipe off any visible clay.
