Polymer clay is one of those hobbies that I never leave. Though I don't get into my stash of clay and tools and stamps as often as I would like, I do go back again and again. When I saw mini rayguns made from wood, I knew there would be a way to use polymer clay to fashion some tiny blasters. By tiny, I mean necklace sized. This tutorial is for 2" or so rayguns, if you want to go bigger, you should start with a foil armature. But for now, think small!
Necessary Supplies
Pen and paper
Polymer clay - this tutorial uses Sculpey III in gold and leaf green
Toothpick
1 eyepin
Exacto knife or other tool to cut and mark clay with
Paper towels
Black and dark brown acrylic paint - for this specific project I also used red, iridescent silver, and gold
Matte medium, if your acrylic paint is a little old
Rubbing alcohol
Hairdryer
Small paintbrushes
Small cup for rubbing alcohol (leftover cups from Nyquil are perfect)
Black necklace cord to put the raygun on
7mm round jumpring
Optional (but nice to have) Supplies
Marble type surface to work with polymer clay on
A taper point clay shaper - good for smooshing and blending clay without leaving fingerprints

Steps 2 & 3 |
3. Once you are happy with the general shape of the body of the raygun, you'll need a handle. Take a very small amount of clay and make a small log. Smoosh (very technical term) this into a sort of rectangle. I had to play around a while before I was happy with the shape. Gently, but firmly, press the top of the handle to the bottom of the raygun. Using your finger or a clay shaper, blend the edges of the handle into the body of the raygun. Remember, polymer clay should be pretty easy to move about. If it's not, it needs more conditioning.

5. Preheat your oven and then bake your piece according to the instructions on the polymer clay package. After the time is up, let it cool thoroughly.
6. While your raygun is cooling, get your paints ready. You'll need a couple of brushes made for small detail work. Put about 1/2 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol in a small cup. First, you'll use an alcohol wash on the handle to add some tonal variation. Add a small amount of dark brown paint to your palette (or in my case, Star Wars plate). If you are using matte medium, add an amount equal to the paint and mix them together. Load your paintbrush with paint and mix it thoroughly into your cup of alcohol. Tada, you've made an alcohol wash! Paint a thin coat of this onto the handle portion. It should sink right into the lines you cut in. Hold the raygun at arm's length from the hairdryer and blow dry. Repeat two more times. It's best to build up layers slowly. I also applied this technique to the gold smooshed ball on the top.
7. To add more variation, let's add silver to the green parts of the raygun. This paint was added using a dry brush technique. Add a tiny amount of silver paint to your palette and put a little on your brush. Paint on a paper towel or scrap paper until you can barely see any paint come from the brush. Then barely brush the tip of the brush on the green parts of the raygun to get silver highlights.
8. Paint the trigger and the point of the raygun silver. Then paint the last ring red. If you'd like, you can use a gloss medium on various parts for additional variation.
