Mixing your own clay allows for endless possibilities in color customization. In this post, we’ll focus on how to create the classic olive drab shade. This versatile, military-inspired green is perfect for adding a robust and earthy tone to your projects. Join us as we explore the steps to achieve this distinctive color.
Supplies
Polymer Clay
Polymer clay comes in a variety of colors. To mix the color olive drab you will need the colors Canary Yellow, Cornflower Blue and Cherry Pie Red in the Sculpey Souffle brand.
Condition the Clay
To condition the clay you will need an acrylic roller or my preferred method is using a pasta machine for clay.
A pasta roller makes it easy to condition your polymer clay. It also helps achieve a consistent thickness of your clay when creating earrings.
An Acrylic roller is a helpful tool to condition out your clay and make it more pliable and easier to work with.
