This detailed master class with photos will teach you how to make your own necklace of polymer clay.
To create a necklace from polymer clay with your own handsby hand you will need: – Black plastic – Round and flower cutters – Toothpicks – Silver powder – Brush – Corrugated paper with fine and coarse texture – Napkins or toilet paper – Necklace base – Cable with lock – Round nose pliers – Pins with a ball – Glass and metal beads of different sizes – Rolling pin
We are starting a master class on creating a necklace frompolymer clay. Divide the paper into small pieces and roll them into tight balls. The diameter of the balls is from 0.5 to 1.5 cm. On average, about 40-45 beads are used for the work, therefore, you need to prepare the appropriate number of ball blanks. Cut the corrugated paper with a fine texture into squares of 5 * 5 cm and 7 * 7 cm.
We wrap a ball in each of these squares.
We tightly twist the edges of the squares to create a blank for a bead.
And these blanks, I repeat, need to be made according to the number of future beads! That is, A LOT.
Roll out the plastic into a 2 mm thick layer and cut out the shape of a flower using a floral cutter.
We put a paper blank in the center of the flower and begin to wrap this blank with plastic.
In the finished version, the workpiece looks like a smooth bud.
We cut out a round shape from plastic with a smaller round cutter and attach it to smaller buds. Thus, from flower shapes we make large buds, from round ones – smaller ones.
Turn the finished bud over“leg” down and wrap with corrugated paper with a large texture. The round part of the bud should be visible so that it can be textured beautifully. Press the textured paper into the bud with your fingers.
Carefully remove the paper and get textured volumetric buds. In each of them, make a hole in the center with a toothpick.
We make such buds on each piece.
Now dip the brush into the silver powder and cover the edges of each bead with this powder. This step should be done before baking.
We cover all the blanks and send them to bake.
After baking, remove the paper.You can use tweezers or nippers for a manicure, but nimble fingers are enough. If the paper does not come out or is stuck – you can soak the beads in water, after which everything will come off easily.
To assemble the necklace we made buds of different colorssize, respectively, and the beads in the buds will be of different sizes. We select the smallest buds and the smallest beads. We insert a pin with a ball into each bead.
And together with the bead we insert the pin into the bud.
Using round-nose pliers, twist the excess part of the pin into a tight spring. The size of the spring for each bud MUST BE WIDDER than the base of the cable, otherwise it will be impossible to assemble the necklace!!!
Repeat for all the small buds.
Now we work with medium-sized buds. They are deeper, and one bead will not fill them, so we prepare three beads for each bud - 1 large, two small.
For small beads, we twist the edge of the pin into springs.
We insert a pin into the large ones.
We pass a pin with a large bead through two springs with small beads.
And we insert this structure into medium-sized buds.
We also twist the edge of the pin into a spring for each bud.
For the largest buds, we prepare even larger beads.
Similar to the medium buds, the internal structure is assembled on one pin, which is threaded into the bead.
When all the buds are ready and have a spring-loop, we lay them out around the base of the necklace in a symmetrical manner, with smaller ones at the edges and larger buds towards the center.
We string the beads in the desired order onto the base.
The necklace is ready.
