How to Make Faux Pendant Using Polymer Clay
- 1). Roll pencil-sized snakes of the gold and black polymer clay with your hands. Place the snakes next to each other on a flat surface and fold the snakes in half.
- 2). Roll the snakes to a 1/4-inch flat sheet with the rolling pin. Fold the sheet in half and roll again. Repeat, creating a marbleized effect in the clay.
- 3). Roll the marbleized clay into a marble sized ball. Flatten the ball slightly with your hand to make the pendant. Pierce the pendant all the way through the center with the toothpick.
- 4). Place the pendant on a cookie sheet and bake it in a 175 degree Fahrenheit oven for 20 minutes. Let the pendant cool for 10 minutes and remove it from the cookie sheet.
- 5). Push the gold headpin through the hole in the pendant. Cut the headpin with the wire cutters 1/2-inch from the top of the pendant.
- 6). Twist the protruding 1/2-inch of the headpin into a circle with the tip of the needle nose pliers. The wire circle will be used to string the pendant on a cord, chain or ribbon.
