Pixel Lips Brooch

What this is

Layered pop lips with a cleaner repeatable build

Pixel lips can get messy when each colour is trimmed by eye. This kit separates the outer lip, inner field, teeth, and fine line work into printable cutter families, so the graphic read stays consistent from one make to the next. The paid guide walks the build order, placement checks, bake setup, finishing choices, and hardware route. This page shows what ships with the kit, how the build flows, and what you supply yourself.

Your cutter map

Every cutter, and the slab it makes

Each cutter is paired with the clay slab it cuts, so you can match a printed cutter to its place in the stack.

How you'll make it

The build, at a glance

The lips go together like a screen print: hot pink base first, then the orange and yellow fields, with the white teeth and black line saved for last. These four moves are the arc of the build; the paid guide keeps the layer order details and placement checks.

1. 

   Step 1 - rolling and cutting

   Cut the lips base

   Prepare the hot pink base colour and cut the main lips shape so the brooch has a clean silhouette before smaller details go on.

2. 

   Step 2 - layer cutting

   Add the colour fields

   Cut the warm orange outer field and bright yellow inner field from cool slabs, then settle them gently over the base without pushing the pixel edges out of shape.

3. 

   Step 3 - detail placement

   Place the teeth detail

   Use the white teeth and black teeth-line cutter families to build the centre detail while keeping the graphic mouth read clear.

4. 

   Step 4 - bake and hardware

   Bake, cool, and add backing

   Bake flat and cool fully, then bond the bar pin: the lookbook piece is a bar-pin brooch worn on a collar. Magnet, pendant, badge, and keyring backs are the alternates covered in the guide.

Before you start

What you bring

Five bold colours in one clay line make the mouth read: hot pink, warm orange, bright yellow, white, and black. Add bar-pin hardware for the default collar brooch; the kit's cutters and guide handle the shapes.
