How to make DIY polymer clay jewelry – Everyday Dishes & DIY

First, wash your hands and clean your work surface. Using an X-acto knife, cut a small piece of clay about the size of a grape. Roll it in your hands to form a ball.Place the ball onto your work surface and flatten using something such as a hardcover book.Place a small round lid over the flattened clay and press firmly as you would a cookie cutter. Remove and trim away excess clay.Stamp clay using a letter stamp. Make a hole in the top center using a nail or awl, if you’re making the necklace. Smooth out any imperfections with fingers.Place the object on a wax-covered baking sheet and allow it to harden in the oven at 230 degrees for a maximum of 30 minutes. FIMO will completely harden when cooled down to room temperature.Once cooled, add jump ring to the pendent and attach chain.If mounting your clay cutout onto a ring, simply apply a dab of industrial-strength glue.
