Applying Flocking to Polymer Clay Peaches

Flocked and UnFlocked Miniature Peaches

  • Place a small amount of flocking on a flat surface. Gently use your finger to press down on the flocking and separate out the clumps. (if you do a lot of this you may want to keep your flocking in a small shaker, a small spice jar will do).
  • Dip your miniature baked peaches from step four into a small quantity of matte acrylic finish. Set them aside until the finish is tacky. Do not do this next step while the finish is wet!
  • Apply the flocking to the peaches – You have a choice of three methods here, use whichever works best for you. You can:
    • Press your finger in the flocking then press your finger to the surface of the peach to transfer the flocking over to the peach surface.
    • Roll the slightly tacky peach in the flocking
    • shake small amounts of flocking over the slightly tacky peaches.

The photo above shows peaches still wet with acrylic finish next to peaches which have been flocked. The flocking will be fairly obvious and the peaches will look a bit blotchy. The next step takes them to the final finish for a miniature or dollhouse display.
