Polymer Bar Pendant

This pendant is simple to make using only a few tools and a couple materials.

Needed:
File divider
Polymer Clay
Pliers
Hammer
Drill & drill bit
Sand paper
Soldering paste
Silver solder
Heat source

Step 1: Another use for a file divider

Cut out the strip to a file divider. Use a pair of pliers to bend the end at 90 degrees. Make sure the bend is squarely bent.

Move down the metal strip until you reach your desired length. Bend both ends down at 90 degrees until you have a rectangle. Cut the free end as flush as you can to the pendant.

I love that you used a file folder. There are so many of those deserted at my work.

Love the look of this one, sort of modern. Does the clay bake to a shiny finish, or did you polish it more after baking?

Very very nice. I really liked that you got the metal part from a file divider, that's a big high-five for taking something ordinary and making it into something beautiful.

Inspired I am.
There is so much crap (material) that is thrown out where I work that I have pendants dancin' in my head.
Good pictures, to-the-point instructions.
Top Notch, Yo.

Nice 'ible. Very simple in practice, but kudos for getting the metalwork part done so easily, and for recylcing used things :)

Cheers,

I think you forgot in the "Needed" items list:
Soldering paste, silver solder and a heat source.

And kind sir, once again you came up with something astoundingly beautiful and simply elegant with common "ordinary" things.

Thanks and fixed.
