DIY Clay Birthday Necklace
Intro: DIY Clay Birthday Necklace
Hello everyone! I am doing a tutorial on how to make clay birthday/birthstone necklaces. These are really cute and meaningful, but also very inexpensive. Show me if you did one!!!
STEP 1: What You Need!
1.) polymer clay
2.) jump ring
3.) small charm or gem (optional)
4.) black pen.
5.) toothpick.
6.) chain or string (not pictured)
STEP 2:
Take some clay and roll it into a sphere, the squish it so that it is flat. Make sure it's not too thin, but thin enough to fit the jump ring through it. I prefer lighter colors, but darker colors work as well, as you can see in the picture. (Ps, you don't need three circles, I was just using color examples :) )
STEP 3:
Poke a hole in the top of the circle.
STEP 4:
Write the person's name in pen on the bottom of the front. You can also do it like I did, and use random words. ;) also a very important thing to do is write on it BEFORE you cook it!!!
STEP 5:
Allow to dry for about 20 seconds before starting the back. I just hung mine on a jewelry stand with a toothpick. :)
STEP 6:
Now, once your little bead is dry, you'll be working in the back. This is where you will put they're date of birth. I put some pictures of different ways you can write it.
STEP 7:
Now all you have to do is cook it, place the jump ring and charm on, and attach to a necklace. Enjoy!!
