**Using water-soluble transfer sheets with polymer clay can yield beautiful results when done correctly. Here are some tips for best use:**

### Clay Preparation

1. **Choose the Right Clay**: Ensure you're using a high-quality polymer clay. Brands like Fimo, Premo, and Sculpey are popular choices.
2. **Condition the Clay**: Properly condition the clay by kneading it until it's soft and pliable. This helps in achieving a smooth surface for the transfer.

### Application

3. **Press Firmly**: Place the transfer sheet face down on the clay and gently press it down. Use a roller or your fingers to ensure even contact without air bubbles.
4. **Wait for the Transfer**: Allow the paper to sit on the clay for a minute or two. This helps the image to adhere properly.
5. **Rinse Away Paper**: Use a gentle stream of water from a faucet or gently mist with a spray bottle to remove the paper. Some paper may remain, but this can be cleaned up later.
6. **Let it Dry**: Let the clay dry undisturbed.

**Tip:**
**Avoid Stretching**: Be cautious not to stretch the clay too much after the transfer, as it can distort the image. Once the clay is baked, this is no longer an issue.

### Finishing Touches

7. **Bake Properly**: Follow the clay manufacturer's instructions for baking. Make sure to place the clay on a suitable baking surface to avoid burning or discoloration.
8. **Clean Up**: Rinse away any remaining paper under a gentle stream of water. You may gently rub your finger over the surface to remove any stubborn paper that remains.
9. **Seal the Design (Optional)**: After baking, consider applying a thin layer of polymer clay-friendly varnish or sealer to protect the transferred design and enhance its durability.

### Additional Tips

10. **Practice on Scraps**: Practice the technique on scrap pieces of clay to get a feel for the process before working on your final project.

By following these tips, you can achieve beautiful and precise image transfers onto polymer clay, enhancing your creative projects.
