Mandala Textures

Mandala Textures are texture plates for polymer clay, each carrying a different ornamental mandala design. Press the plate into a rolled sheet of clay and the whole pattern transfers in one go. Use the full circle, or crop a small section of it, and the same plate gives a different design every time.

There are 7 patterns, each available in two sizes: medium 10x10 cm (4" x 4") and large 12x12 cm (4-3/4" x 4-3/4"). Every pattern is sold on its own, and all 7 are also sold together as a set. The set costs the price of 5 single textures, so 2 of the 7 come at no extra cost.

The textures suit earrings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets and decorative pieces. Spray the clay with water or dust it with powder before pressing, then work the surface with paints, metallic powders, mica or pastes to bring the pattern out.

For long statement earrings, pair a mandala sheet with a cutter from Long Earrings Cutters. Every shape in that collection cuts a piece 6 cm (2.4 in) long, and the mirrored pairs give you a matching left and right.
