How to Attach a Polymer Clay Bowl Base

Hi. I'm Melina and welcome to Expert Village. Today we're going to make a polymer clay bowl. For this next step we're going to add the foot that we made before. This is the little round bottom piece that we had made before. And now we're going to attach it to the bottom of our bowl. Basically we're going to take our scraper and we're going to do cross hatching. You're going to take your glue, put it in the holes. Then you're going to scratch the surface of your foot and you're going to attach it. And press down. You can test it out. It's very important that this is flat. Because this is how the bowl is going to stand so if it's kind of bumpy the bowl is going to be lopsided. So what you want to do is you want to make sure that it's flat. Press it down and since this clay is so sticky when it's raw, it's unbaked, it should hold up the bowl through the baking. And you can kind of eyeball it and see if you need to move it around, adjust it a little. And there's our bowl. It is complete. It's ready to be baked.
