Pretty Spring Floral Pendant

 Designed by Kim Hale

I had a finding from a local craft store that I used for the outer (metal) component of the project.  I also used a flower mold to form the little flowers and leaves, and Makin’s Clay® in various spring colors which were custom mixed.

Materials:

Makin's Clay® - Olive, Plum Wine, Red, Blue 

Makin's® Cutting Mat
Makin's® Clay Tools 

Makin's® Ultimate Clay Machine™

Flower mold "Best Flexible Molds by Penni Jo Couch 

Metal jewelry bezel
Beacon 527 Adhesive
Small faux gemstones/large glitter chunks

Instructions:

Roll Olive Makin's Clay® in Ultimate Clay Machine™ on setting #1.  Place bezel onto rolled clay, use clay tool cut around bezel to make base.  Glue bezel to clay with Beacon 527, or similar adhesive.

Mix White clay with Plum Wine, Blue and Red clay to make pale/pastel shades.

Use push mold to make assorted flowers with pastel clay.  Make leaves with Olive clay.  Arrange as desired on the clay center of the bezel.  Fresh clay will stick to fresh clay without additional adhesive, if needed add a tiny dab of water to the backs of the flowers/leaves to help refresh before layering and arranging.

Use adhesive and add tiny faux gemstones or large glitter chunks to the centers of some flowers.  Let dry 24 hours.
