- Ensure your silk screen stencil is clean and free of any dust or debris.

**2. Condition and Roll Out Polymer Clay:**
- Condition your polymer clay by kneading it until it's soft and pliable.
- Roll out the clay to your desired thickness, ensuring it's larger than the stencil area.

**3. Position the Stencil:**
- Carefully lay the silk screen stencil on the rolled-out clay.
- Press the stencil firmly onto the clay surface, ensuring good contact.

**4. Apply Acrylic Paint:**
- Choose your desired acrylic paint color.
- Using a paintbrush or sponge, apply a thin and even layer of paint over the stencil design.

**5. Remove Excess Paint:**
- Immediately after applying the paint, use a craft knife or blade to carefully scrape away excess paint from the stencil surface. This helps to reveal the crisp design.

**6. Lift the Stencil:**
- Gently lift the silk screen stencil from the polymer clay, revealing the painted design.

**7. Allow to Dry:**
- Let the painted clay piece air-dry or use a heat tool to expedite the drying process.

**8. Optional: Add Additional Layers:**
- For more complex designs, allow the first layer to dry completely before adding additional layers of paint using the same stencil or different ones.

**9. Bake the Polymer Clay:**
- Preheat your oven according to the polymer clay manufacturer's instructions.
- Place the painted clay on a baking sheet and bake according to the recommended temperature and time.

**10. Finish and Seal:**
