Spring Clay Flower Necklace

Designed by Martha Lucia Gomez 

Hi everyone, Martha Lucia here to share with you a Spring Flower Necklace. I made this project using only Makin's Clay® products and this flower give the opportunity to use it like a necklace or pin brooch. Let me show how you can made this using only a few elements.

Materials:

• Makin's Clay® White, red, brown 
• Clay Roller 
• Clay Mixing Ruler™
• Makin's Clay® Red
• Makin's Clay® Brown
• Makin's Clay® Roller
• Makin's Clay® Clay Mixing Ruler
• Flower Frenzy Bigz Large Die Cut - Stampin Up
• Big Shot - Stampin Up
• Circle Punch
• Chain or Wire Chain.
• Beacon Quick Grip Permanent Adhesive

Instructions: Open the White and Red Makin's Clay® and mix 5 g of red with 20 g of white to create a light pink. Store unused clay in zip lock bag with other clay. Roll with your hands until the color are perfectly blended. After this you can create a thin layer using a Makin's Clay® Roller. You will past this layer through your big shot machine. When you are ready with this pink layer you can start to create the flower. I cut with scissors small pieces to pass through the big shot. I decided this because I wanted to mold with my hands each flower. To mold the layers of the flowers I used the two mixer tools that comes with the Makin's Clay® Clay Mixing Ruler. As the Makin's Clay® was fresh all the pieces pasted naturally without additional adhesive.

 To create the center of the flower I used the Makin's Clay® Brown. I cut this little part of the flower twice, the other parts only once.

To use this like pendant or brooch I added a small circle with a punch that let pass the chain, wire chain or pin through it.

The Makin's Clay® was fresh so it let me attach this part very easy but for security I decided to paste with upper and down border with Beacon Quick Grip Permanent Adhesive also.
 
 I hope you like this idea and my project inspired you to create amazing things using your dies and Makin's Clay® products. See you soon! Martha Lucia
