A softly rounded clay bar, a favorite word, and a tiny floral detail make a personal handmade gift. This version uses polymer clay, so it does not need a pottery kiln.
Supplies
Ivory polymer clay, roller, letter stamps, needle tool, floral paper napkin, decoupage medium, gold acrylic paint, jump rings, chain, and jewelry pliers.
Step by step
- Condition the clay, roll evenly, and cut a small bar with softly rounded corners.
- Stamp a name or word and make a hole near each end for the jump rings.
- Bake the clay alone according to its package directions. Cool completely.
- Separate the printed napkin layer and adhere a small floral piece at one end using decoupage medium.
- Fill the stamped letters with gold paint. Let dry, then seal the paper with decoupage medium and follow its drying directions.
- Once fully dry, attach jump rings and chain. Package with a handwritten note.
Keep the finished necklace dry and handle gently. Add paper and chain only after the clay is baked and cooled. Try mama, love, or a short name.
