Learn how to craft beautiful polymer clay jewelry the easy way! This new, revolutionary product has the designs already in the clay! Simply cut, bake and assemble!
Step 1 |
Ensure your work area is clean, dry, and free of dust. Roll out the clay slab to the desired thickness using a roller. Alternate between rolling horizontally and vertically to preserve the design. Use the thickness guides to roll the clay out to a 3mm thickness. |
Step 2 |
Lightly dust the clay with cornstarch to prevent it from sticking. |
Step 3 |
Place the large round cutter on the clay and press down to cut out a large round shape. |
Step 4 |
Repeat Steps 1-3 with five different clays to create the solar system. Roll out each color of clay, cut out round shapes; then cut tiny round shapes using tiny round cutters. Place these round circles on top of the large piece to represent planets. |
Step 5 |
Poke a hole in the top of the large round shape using a clay awl tool. |
Step 6 |
Preheat the oven to 250°F [120°C] and allow the oven to come to temperature. Place the clay pieces carefully on an oven-safe baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then put them into the oven for 15-20 minutes. |
Step 7 |
Once baked, remove the clay pieces from the oven and allow them to cool completely before handling. |
Step 8 |
Attach the circle pendant to the chain necklace using a 7mm jump ring. Open and close the jump ring using flat pliers to secure the pendant in place. |
Step 9 |
Draw tiny circles around the solar system with gold paint using a clay awl or a fine-tipped brush to add detail and decoration. |
