Hi,
i made different approaches to get a home made chip/button, and i found a relative simple way to do!
All you need is in the first picture.
The most important tools are a pasta bike (finally this thing gets used!), and a 3D printed mold (actually in progress).
The pasta bike makes it super easy to get the clay in shape, and Fimo is actually easier to handle when it’s thin…!?!
Poker, PCF and most of it‘s members are US-based, so i choose the classic red-white-blue
colors.
Hope this is an inspiration for other members to get creative!
Roll out clay with the pasta bike
Cut stripes, or spot patterns
Staple the stripes and pass‘em thru the bike
Place a washer (or a broken dice chip 8g), and flip the sheet over,
and cut it out with the 60mm puncher.
Apply some cornstarch to the mold and the chip, and assemble the pieces.
Now place the lid, press the mold to the max and the chip is done!
To cure the chip place it 30min @ 110C / 230F in the oven.
Let it cool down and sand a bid down with 180/400 grid.
Have fun!!
Will post some finished ones later on…
