Easy Faux Pearl Necklace Made of Cornstarch Clay

Step 6

Once you have all your pearls all made out - using a good size needle poke a hole through each pearl. Let them dry for about 48 hours so they get hard. Once dried, you will be able to use needle and thread and sew you pearls together to make your necklace and or bracelet.
Have fun with making all kinds of jewelry - this clay can be molded to make almost anything - and it is so easy to make.

Here I string them both and added some silver chain and claps to the end to give a more fancy look.

Thanks and have fun!

I think it would be wise to coat your "pearl" with nail polish or the glaze that is sold to polish polymer clay jewelry. The cornstarch, if not coated, will absorb oils and perspiration from your skin, and, as it's a foodstuff, well, it could get pretty nasty. Better yet, check out what you can do with such polymer clays as Sculpey or Fimo. There are lots of Instructables for polymer clay jewelry that you can make with as little work as your cornstarch clay ones, that are truly permanent.
