Braided Clay Bracelet

Yes I am obsessed with polymer clay. Its such a fun material to work with because if you mess up... you just mash it all up and start again. Today's DIY is a spin off of this project that I did a little while back. Knead the clay with your hands to soften it up. Using the palm of your hand roll out three long tubes. Mash the top of the tubes together and begin braiding. Using your own wrist as a guide determine how long you want to make your bracelet. Connect the two ends and gently mash ( I cant think of a better word so mash it is) the two ends together. Bake for 25 minutes at 245 degrees. I decided bright yellow was not very "fall" so I switched it out for bronze. Have a little wrist party and make as many as you want!

Half Circle Polymer Necklace I was recently browsing around on Etsy and I spotted this beautiful necklace. I was instantly inspired and since it was made out of polymer clay I knew I wanted to recreate it myself. Here is how I did it... What you will need: 2 polymer clay colorsWaxed cotton cordA metal bead making tool. Start by conditioning your clay. Poke your clay bead in the center and begin squishing your bead onto the metal tool. After you get the clay all the way onto your bead making tool, use the palm of your hand to roll out any imperfections and to make it smooth. Such an easy and simple statement piece!
