Gather all your supplies and tools to get started.

For all the patterns you’ll be working on, just pinch off a portion of clay and knead it a little to soften it. Next, roll the clay into a flat line on your work surface.

Pattern 1 : Simply measure the circumference of your finger and cut off the desired length of clay. Press the ends together and blend the clay till there is no discernible line or marker.

Pattern 2: To make this squiggly ring, just twist the length of rolled up clay into a serpentine pattern as shown and cut off the end when you’re happy with the size. Just press the two ends together and blend them to close the ring.

Pattern 3: For this ring, roll up two colors of clay and line them up against each other. Now twist both of them around the other without pressing or flattening them down. Fasten off the ends and set aside.

Pattern 4: Roll out some clay, only, instead of rolling it evenly, leave a little raised lump of clay at the center. Cut off the excess clay and bring the ends together to blend them into a ring. Next, grab a cutting tool or even just a needle and make indentations along the top bump.

Pattern 5: if you have excess clay from when you worked on the other rings, then go ahead and roll them up together, but don’t knead them so much that the colors start to blend. Use a rolling pin to flatten the clay and cut strips of it before blending the ends together to form an asymmetric ring.

Baking : First, preheat the oven. Place all your rings onto a baking tray and cover with aluminum foil. Carefully read the instructions on the box of your polymer clay to figure out how long and at what temperature you need to bake the rings.
