Brooch made of polymer clay

Brooches made of polymer clay are noteworthy in the first place in that they make it possible to create a very detailed form. In this regard, the result is "small masterpieces" in the form of bouquets of flowers, insects, animals and birds. But beauty, like everything else, has its price - shortcomings, which are inextricably linked with the main advantage of brooches from polymer clay - plastic material.

Pros, cons, and other features of the brooch from clay

A brooch made of polymer clay has a number of positive qualities - firstly, thanks to the flexible material it allows the master to create a mini copy of the prototype thing. So, we can observe bouquets of snowdrops, roses, lilies, small horses and other animals.

Secondly, a brooch made of polymer clay is quite cheap - for all its beauty, the prices for these products are pleasantly surprised even by the most economical young ladies, because the work of the master is practically evaluated because clay is an inexpensive material.

But along with these advantages, the brooch from clay has several drawbacks - all of them consist in the practical use of the brooch.

Clay is a fairly brittle material and breaks easily when falling. Therefore, it is desirable not to drop it. At the same time, a brooch made of polymer clay is liable to be restored using conventional PVA glue, and anyone can do this repair - no special knowledge and skills are required for this.

The second unpleasant nuance of brooches from polymer clay is that, with insufficient grinding and without varnishing spraying, the shape of the brooch with sharp ends can leave hooks on things because the clay material is rough.

And one more unpleasant lack of a brooch made of polymer clay is that they are quite heavy. If you compare them with "air" brooches of beads and textiles, the latter will clearly benefit.

Are such shortcomings of the subtle beauty inherent in brooches made of polymer clay, solves each individually, but given the demand for them, the answer is already obvious - of course, are worth it.
