Pendant tutorial

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.
