I’ve been asked few times how Exactly do I make the polymer clay little pendants and rings, so I decided to make a little tutorial for something quite simple. It is a blue translucent pendant with embossed floral pattern colored in gold.

A. First you gonna need the following materials:
1. Polymer clay, color of your choice; 2. Rubber stamp; 3. Acrylic craft paint; 4. Cookie or some kind of small soft material cutter; 5. Jump ring 4-5 mm ( i’m using silver plated jump rings-5 mm ) 6. Craft blade (Just shown in the picture but not needed for this exact project)

B. Cut a small piece of your clay, condition and roll it to desired thickness. I usually roll it to a 3 to 4 mm thick.

C. Press the rubber stamp over the clay sheet.

D. Cut a shape with the cookie cutter:

E. This is what the shape looks like before baking:

F. Make a hole for attaching the jump ring

G.Bake the pendant in the oven according to your polymer clay baking directions:

H. Color the pattern carefully in the desired color with your aclylic craft paint. I chose gold color.

I. Attach the jump ring after the paint is dry.

J. This is the finished pendant on a chain.

Hope you like the tutorial. I will appreciate any relevant comments and suggestions.

I’m so trilled to share with you some of the new stuff I’ve been working on the last week or so. I’ve been ……. baking:) No no, don’t expect to see food on this blog, I can’t cook …… Yes, shame on me but this is a fact: even the best cookbook is not able to help me much. Ok lets get to the point. I like to experiment with stuff and I got some polymer clay planing to make some cool Christmas gifts for my friends and family. I got so hooked up that I can’t go to sleep before making something out of polymer clay every evening. I’m lacking sleep but hey, it’s addictive. And I said baking earlier because after sculpting polymer clay has to be baked to become hard.
And you can make anything and everything of it. Some people are making miniature food of it, sooo cute:) And of course I couldn’t resist but try (making, not eating it:)). I made some Christmas tree ornaments, jewelry and accessories. I showed them to some of my friends and the really liked it. I think they turned out great as well. If you like them too you will be able to purchase at a very reasonable price very soon. I’m working on shop page as I want to make it easy, convenient and shopper friendly. Just a quick note: The products I make are not toys and they are not meant for kids although they are safe and non-toxic. I had to mention this because I also make illustrations for baby and kids apparel, which has nothing to do with polymer clay. I’m posting few pictures and if you have a second please let me know what you think.
