Faux Leather Box from Polymer Clay

Here’s an interesting take on faux leather from syndee holt, for Sculpey. It uses Soufflé clay which has a nice, suede like texture and some pretty great colours. I’ve gotten more into it – I really like their grey and light, light brown and the colour they call turnip – and I’ve even used it for canework. This is a fun faux leather though and you could totally cover other objects than a box lid. My favourite faux leather with clay was making the covers for a notebook. I simply took apart a larger ring spiral bound sketchbook, covered the plain cardstock covers in faux leather clay sheets and stamped designs on the inside covers.
