Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome
to my Makin's Clay® March
tutorial.
March is the National Craft Month and to
make a new jewelry piece with Makin's Clay® and tools, die, molds and paints sure counts as crafting. I decided to pick a few trends and
to use them on this card piece.
The recent trends are Rose quartz color of
the year (it's just light link one); doilies are still trendy; tassels are back
as a trend; glitter and gold are the most trendy items on this list. And as I
believe, butterflies and flowers are trendy forever.
So here is my new Spring necklace and I
made a tutorial for you , so you can duplicate with piece or to make a very
similar one.

Instructions:
Make a sheet of peach clay using Makin’s Professional®
Ultimate Clay Machine® on
setting 5. Let the sheet of clay be totally dry and then die cut it with My
Favorite Things small Doily die. Not every delicate die works on clay sheet;
this one works even with small intricate die cutting.
Step 2:
Cut the piece of dry clay sheet (the same color from the previous
step) to make a hand made tassel. Ad you can see Tim Holtz scissors are just
perfect to cut dry Makin's Clay® sheet.
Step 3:
Pick two small molds and use White
Makin's Clay® to cast a small flower and a small butterfly. I used Plaid molds
and didn't take a photo of this step as it was obvious and easy to understand.
Let your shapes to be totally dry
and take them of the mold after a couple of hours. You don't need to wait for
24 hours to make the next step.
Step 4:
Paint the dry flower and butterfly with Colorarte
Acrylic glaze paints and let it dry.
Makin's Clay® is just a perfect pallet for
those shiny paint as you can see.
Step 5:
Pick a round metal golden base and glue
the painted clay daisy flower inside the circle using any possible glaze medium
that fit polymer clay. I used Gloss Glastique from Sweet Stamps, but any glaze
medium for clay will work.Add some clear fine glitter over the glaze and around
the flower.
Glue the painted butterfly with the same
glaze over the die cut clay doily, add some clear fine glitter around and
let it dry.
Step 6:
Glue the clay doily over the back side of
your metal golden base and now you have double sided clay pendant.
Add the golden cap over the fringed cut
clay to make a tassel. Arrange the base and the tassel as shown and add a black
ribbon.
Enjoy you very trendy necklace!
