C r a f t B r e a k : C l a y N e c k l a c e


A great way to may your own statement piece necklace is to make a base shape out of polymer clay, bake it and then add decoration with paint.  To make my bird necklace I rolled out the clay to about a 1/4 inch thick, cut out the shape with a knife and used a big needle to make the holes where I wanted to attach the chain and baked it according to the instructions on the clay package. I added the design with acrylic paints and even some nail polish. After that was dry, I coated the whole piece with a thick clear glaze and added the chain. It's so easy to get creative with this project and customize the colors to match your wardrobe!
