Hey Loves,
Creating something new and unique is always fun and peaceful.
Peaceful!! because, Art and craft gives me peace in life. My mind is probably on work 24*7 thinking about creative ideas and believe me, It does not get tired.
In this post, I am sharing with you the procedure of Clay pendants which are made of Shilpkar(white Mseal), But you can use any air drying clay, which gets hardened after drying.
So, Lets get started...
Materials required are:
Carved Pendant
Step 1: Shilpkar comes with two clays, one is resin and other one is hardener. Apply talcum powder to your hand to avoid stickiness of the clay and mix both clays well till you get an even dough. After mixing both clays well, It will turn into white colour. Roll the clay like a ball.
Step 2: Apply talcum powder to the surface where you are going to give shape to the clay. Flatten your clay in an oval shape by pressing the clay with your fingers.
Step 3: Once you get your desired oval shape. Apply talcum powder to the top surface of the clay, so that our wooden stamp will not stick to the clay and come off very easily.
Step 4: Press your wooden stamp on the clay to get carved effect on the pendant.
Step 5: Make a hole on the top of the pendant with the help of toothpick to make the pendant wearable. (Once the clay gets hardened, you will not be able to make a hole afterwards)
Step 6: Time to add pretty colours to the pendants. For giving a royal touch to this one, I am going on with Fevicryl metallic gold acrylic colour for the non carved area of the pendants. You will have to do several coats depending on how opaque you want your pendant to be (let each coat dry completely before starting with next one) and then for colouring the carved area I am using Fevicryl metallic copper and pearl blue colour. Add one pearl in the centre with glue.
Step 7: Let the pendant dry depending on the instructions of your clay. My clay is fast drying so I have to keep it for drying for about 1 hour.
Step 8: Add strings to make it wearable.
Heart Pendant
Step 1: Shilpkar comes with two clays, one is resin and other one is hardener. Apply talcum powder to your hand to avoid stickiness of the clay and mix both clays well till you get an even dough. After mixing both clays well, It will turn into white colour. Roll the clay like a ball.
Step 2: Apply talcum powder to the surface where you are going to give shape to the clay. Flatten your clay in a round shape by pressing the clay with your fingers.
Step 3: With the help of marker or any writing thing draw a heart shape on the clay. You can also use any heart stencils for even more neat and precise heart shape.
Step 4: Cut the heart outline with the help of cutter and smooth out the edges by using flat surface of cutter's blade.
Step 5: Make a hole using a toothpick on the top right of the pendant If you want it to be tilted while wearing, (Once the clay gets hardened, you will not be able to make a hole afterwards)
Step 6: Colour your pendant. I have used Fevicryl pearl green acrylic colour.
Step 7: Add pearls to the pendants as you like.
Step 8: Let the pendant dry depending on the instructions of your clay. My clay is fast drying so I have to keep it for drying for about 1 hour.
Step 9: Add strings to make it wearable.
So, this was the procedure for making clay pendants. I hope you like it.
