Star by the Bay Steampunk Starfish Pendant by Patricia Krauchune

Steampunk Starfish Pendant by Patricia Krauchune made with Makin's Clay®

STAR BY THE BAY


We have a cottage at the ocean...this brings the ocean home to me! See what you can create with Makin's® Push Molds and have some fun.

Supply List:

Makin's Clay® White
Gorilla® Super Glue
Americana® Triple Thick Glaze™
Decoart® Metallics® Splendid Gold Paint
Swirly Head pin
Gear/ Gold Head pin
Decoart Metallic Lustre™ Gold Rush/Silver/Champagne Ice


Recommended Makin’s® Tools:
Makin's®  Push Mold "Sea Shells"                                 Makin's® Cutting Mat

Instructions:

Mix the Decoart® Metallics® Splendid Gold acrylic paint in a zip lock bag with the white Makin's Clay®. Keep kneading the bag until the paint is incorporated into the clay and you get the desired color.


Using the Makin's® Sea Shells Push mold, push the newly colored clay into the mold to make two starfish.


Put the two starfish together, back to back, to form a starfish that looks the same front and back.  Fill in any gaps with fresh clay.

Now, using the Gorilla® Super Glue, push the swirly head pin into the top of the starfish.  Then glue a gear in the middle using the Super Glue and the gold head pin.



I highlighted the starfish with Decoart Metallic Lustre™ in Gold Rush, Silver and Champagne Ice.

The starfish was then sealed with Americana® Triple Thick Glaze™ to make the starfish look wet. 
A simple project that brings the sea to you.  Enjoy!
