Hope you are well and surviving lockdown. I haven’t posted in ages I know but came up with the simple tutorial I just had to share.
You will need: scrap patterned paper, 1 inch circle punch, clamp, water spritzer, metal plates.
Step 1: punch out circles from your scrap paper using your paper punch (alternatively cut out circles by hand).
Step 2: spritz your punched circles with water.
Step 3: you will now use your metal plates as moulds to form the circles into plate shapes. Simply stack them up plate, paper, plate, paper, plate. Always starting and ending with a plate. I have 6 plates so I can mould 5 plates at a time.
Step 4: use a mini clamp to squash the stack together. Leave overnight to dry.
Step 5 take apart your clamped plates. They should be dry and look like this. You can now use them in your 1/12 scenes.
