This floral polymer clay cutter set includes four cutters: 

  • A mirrored pair of arch cutters that cut and deboss guides for stems and leaves, leaving space for 3D flowers.
  • A leaf cutter with mirrored leaves arranged in the order they are placed on the finished piece: two larger leaves on the bottom and six smaller leaves above.
  • A petal cutter that cuts 12 petals at once, six small and six slightly larger, ideal for making dimensional flowers.
  • Arches are available in 4 cm and 5 cm heights, with proportionally sized leaf and petal cutters.

How to Use This Set

  1. Base shape: Cut the mirrored arch shapes from clay that is 2.5–3 mm thick. The cutters create impressed guides for stems and leaves. Use the included pin tool in the drill guides to mark pilot holes.
  2. Leaves: Cut the leaves from clay that is less than 1 mm thick. The leaves are mirrored and arranged on the cutter to match their placement on the finished design.
  3. Stems: Roll out a very thin snake of clay with an acrylic block until it is about 1–1.5 mm wide. You can also use an extruder to create the stems. 
  4. Trim stems: Use the two stem-length trimmers on the sides of the arch cutters to cut the snakes to the correct long and short lengths.
  5. Angle cut: Use a craft knife or tissue blade to cut one end of each short stems to a point so the two stems meet cleanly.
  6. Place stems: Lay the stems onto the impressed stem lines on the base shapes.
  7. Add leaves: Position the leaves over the marked leaf spots.
  8. Create 3D flowers: Use the petal cutter to make flowers and attach them to the open spaces at the tops of the stems. See our 3D Flower tutorial for flower making techniques. Click here to download the free Flower Building Guide PDF
  9. Optional accent: Add colored liquid clay to the frame for a contrasting border.
  10. Bake: Cure according to your clay brand’s instructions.

What is the recommended thickness of clay for using these cutters?

All of our debossing cutters are designed for use with clay that is approximately 2.5 to 3 mm thick. While outline cutters can be used with various clay thicknesses, smaller or more detailed cutters are generally easier to use with thinner clay.

What is the thickness of the cutting blade on your cutters, and how does it work differently compared to flat blades?

The cutting blade on our polymer clay cutters features a precision 0.1 mm thickness. What sets our cutters apart is their beveled cutting edge design. This unique feature allows the cutters to slice through the clay, pushing the excess material out and away, rather than simply flattening it onto your cutting surface. As a result, you achieve crisp, clean edges with minimal to no need for additional cleanup or sanding, making our cutters some of the sharpest and most efficient on the market.

How do I prevent clay from getting stuck in the cutters?

There are several factors to consider to ensure clay won't become stuck in your cutters: the cutting surface, the clay consistency, the thickness of your clay slab, and the release agent you use. Check out this article and video for a detailed description the techniques you can use to make sure clay won't get stuck in your cutters.

How long does it take to process and ship orders?

All our tools are made to order, and our processing time, or turnaround time, is up to ten business days. Please keep this timeframe in mind when placing your order, and we appreciate your patience as we craft your tools to meet our quality standards.

Can I choose the color of my cutters, or is it random?

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the specific color of your cutters because we frequently experiment with new resin colors and shimmer effects. However, we assure you that regardless of the color, our cutters are always sharp and designed to look cute!

Are the cutter measurements exact, or do they have some variation?

While our cutter measurements are approximate, you can expect them to be very close, typically within a millimeter or two of the posted measurements. We strive for accuracy and precision in our products.

Can I use these cutters for food preparation, or are they food safe?

We do not guarantee that our cutters are food safe. They are primarily designed for use with polymer clay and other crafting materials, so we recommend not using them for food preparation to ensure your safety.
