How to Make Polymer Clay Pendants

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Melina and welcome to Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to make a beautiful necklace out of polymer clay. The next step is we are going to make a alternate pendent so you can switch it up. What we are going to do is we are going to take some of our purple this time and we are going to take some left over green. You can do either one of these pendents or you can make both and make 2 necklaces. We are going to mix the 2 colors together. Make a ball. We are going to flatten our ball a little bit not too much, just a little bit. You don't even need to use the roller. So that you have almost like a big flat round circle. Then you are going to pinch in and then we are going to add a stone in the center. I'm going to use these. I think they are called moon stones. You can get these at any art stores. Sometime they put them on the bottom of fish tanks. I like using a nice light translucent moon stone cause it is going to match with pretty much anything that you put it on. We are going to place our moon stone on our pendent. We are going to first figure out where we want it right on the center. But don't stick it yet just kind of place it. Then you are going to take your poker and you are going to make a few scratches crisscross shapes. Then you are going to take bake able transfer color medium. Basically this is something that you use with Sculpey to attach color to some Sculpey. But you can also use it to glue this works as a fantastic Sculpey glue. Now we are going to take the moon stone and we are going to press it right there we are going to press it really hard. Right into the base you just want to get rid of the excess. Then we are going to take for this next we are going to take our poker and we are going to make a hole this side here right at the top. That is going to be where we hang our necklace from."
