Hi, guys! It really is Mandi here to share a easy and classic DIY jewellery project. I have lengthy dreamed of constructing a collection of jade glassware for my dining space, but in the meantime I considered I’;d include some of that glorious green to my simple jewelry assortment. I’;m rather a lot strictly a pendant necklace gal—anything else seems a bit as well fussy for me. But I’;ve been acquiring exhausted of wearing the same ol’; amber pendant in excess of and in excess of again.
After my marble drawer pull task, I knew I desired to try that clay blending strategy again and thought producing some marbleized jade jewelry would be the best way to use up some extra clay and jewelry supplies! Check out out the simple instructions under to make your very own.
Supplies:
-green and white polymer clay (gold is optional)
-2 earring posts
-necklace chain
-long eyelet
-jewellery adhesive
-polymer safe gloss finish like Minwax’;s Polycrylic spray (pictured in image 5)
Tools:
-baking sheet
-oven
-craft blade
Phase One particular: Warm up the clays by mushing them about in your hand a small so that they are pliable. Add a tiny bit of dark green clay to the white clay, and mix them together right up until you get a wonderful, light jade green.
Phase 2: Roll a bit of dark green (and gold if you want try out consider to include a gold striation) into a extended piece, and blend them into the light green clay. Pull and roll the clay right up until it resembles a marble search. Never blend as well significantly or you will get rid of some of the detail in the contrast of shades.
Pull apart some of the clay for the earrings, and roll the greater piece into a ball. Insert the extended eyelet into the greater ball.
Step 3: Roll 2 equal-sized pieces of the marble clay into balls for the earrings. Slice off an edge of the balls so that later on you can attach the posts for the earrings.
Phase 4: Bake the clay in an oven at 270°F for 30 minutes per 1/4”. I baked the massive ball for 2 hrs and the smaller sized ones for just one hour.
Phase 5: Spray the balls with a number of coats of polycrylic spray so they’;re great and shiny.
Phase Six: Attach the posts to the earrings with jewellery adhesive. I permitted mine to dry for 24 hrs ahead of handling them. String the necklace chain by way of the eyelet to finish the necklace.
That is it! So fast and easy, and considering that jewellery supplies are generally sold in bulk, I might make a bunch of these for presents. Alter up the shape and colours, and each and every 1 is unique.
