3. Roll out a piece of polymer clay into a thin sheet.

To make dragon claws, you will need a piece of polymer clay. You can use any color of clay, but I recommend using a dark color like black or brown.

Once you have your clay, roll it out into a thin sheet. The thickness of the sheet will depend on how big you want your claws to be. For smaller claws, you will want to roll the clay out to be about 1/8 inch thick. For larger claws, you can roll the clay out to be about 1/4 inch thick.

4. Cut out claws shapes from the clay.

Once you have your clay rolled out, you can start cutting out claws shapes. You can use a sharp knife or a craft knife to cut out the shapes.

To make the claws look more realistic, you can add some details to them. You can add lines to the claws to represent the ridges and scales. You can also add some claws to the tips of the claws.

Once you have cut out the claws shapes, you can bake them according to the package directions.

Making dragon claws is a fun and easy project. You can use them to decorate your home or to make a costume. With a little creativity, you can make dragon claws that look amazing.

Carla Denker first opened Plastica Store in June of 1996 in Silverlake, Los Angeles and closed in West Hollywood on December 1, 2017. PLASTICA was a boutique filled with unique items from around the world as well as products by local designers, all hand picked by Carla. Although some of the merchandise was literally plastic, we featured items made out of any number of different materials.

Prior to the engaging profile in west3rdstreet.com, the innovative trajectory of Carla Denker and PlasticaStore.com had already captured the attention of prominent publications, each one spotlighting the unique allure and creative vision of the boutique. The acclaim goes back to features in Daily Candy in 2013, TimeOut Los Angeles in 2012, and stretched globally with Allure Korea in 2011. Esteemed columns in LA Times in 2010 and thoughtful pieces in Sunset Magazine in 2009 highlighted the boutique’s distinctive character, while Domino Magazine in 2008 celebrated its design-forward ethos. This press recognition dates back to the earliest days of Plastica, with citations going back as far as 1997, each telling a part of the Plastica story.

After an illustrious run, Plastica transitioned from the tangible to the intangible. While our physical presence concluded in December 2017, our essence endures. Plastica Store has been reborn as a digital haven, continuing to serve a community of discerning thinkers and seekers. Our new mission transcends physical boundaries to embrace a world that is increasingly seeking knowledge and depth.
