Hi again😊
It's February, and Valentines is coming up. Time to make some hearts.
These polymer clay jewelry are so easy to make, that even small children can manage.
The heart pendant is made simply by adding some pink coloured clay to the white clay, and kneed it in a bit. Then roll it thin, and use a heart mould to cut it. Make a little hole with a toothpick before baking, and use some wire to make a ring in the hole after it has hardened.
The bracelet to match it is made with the same clay, and just rolled in the hand. Make a hole through it before baking. I used ordinary thin cotton yard to thread it on, and then made some chain stitches on each side until preferred length. Tie a loop in one end, and thread a bead on the other. The loop should be as wide as the bead, and you have a lock 😉
This heart pendant is made of white clay and a pink freshwater pearl. I made a hole in it with a tooth pick before baking, and used wire to make a ring in the hole after it had hardened.
This one is not a heart, but laces says love as well, right? 😉 Simply use a rolling pin to make the clay really flat and thin. Then roll the upper part around a knitting pin. Use some old lace to press gently into the clay (while the knitting pin is still in there), and you will get a beautiful pattern. I baked it with the knitting pin in it, and gently removed it when the clay got cold.
Tip: If your sides are not all smooth after baking, you can use a metal nail file to improve them.
