Slice through the rectangle. The Pattern inside is revealed. Then cut out your pendant with a cutter or form a shape from the clay with your hands. Bake your clay and your pendant is ready!

What is Polymer Clay and how do you make jewellery from it?
What is Polymer Clay and how do you make jewellery from it?
00Have you heard the term Polymer Clay but are unsure what it is, why some people use terms like Fimo and Premo and what can you actually make from it? Polymer Clay is a generic term for clay you bake to make it hard. Within this there are various different brands of clay like Fimo, Premo and Kato. All are slightly different and bake for slightly different times or at different temperatures but all essentially do the same thing and are great for making really unique jewellery. The first thing to do, and one of the most difficult for me, is to make a decision as to what colour clay to use. I seem to be naturally drawn to purple at the moment but wanted to make myself try something different colour wise. Eventually I choose and used half a block of white and a third of a block of red and a third of pink. You will see later on this quantity allowed me to make several pendants and still have quite a lot left over. Having chosen the clay the next step is to condition it. Initially the clay is too crumbly to use and conditioning makes it soft and pliable. Condition it using a roller or a pasta machine until you can fold it without it crumbling. Once it is conditioned you are ready to start being creative. There are so many options here but I have followed the steps we take on our Polymer Clay course to make Pendants. To make our pendants we use a base of clay and then cover this with slices from a Polymer Clay Cane. Canes are like sticks of rock. They are long and thin and have a pattern that goes all the way through them. To make my pendants I started by making a basic Bulls Eye Cane and a Jelly Roll Cane. The Bulls Eye Cane is a sausage of clay with a thinner sheet of clay wrapping it. You can vary the cane by adding additional wrappings and varying the thickness of them. The Jellyroll is two sheets of clay, one on top of the other, that are rolled together. I then cut this in various ways to make a Tile Cane. For the next cane I used a Skinner Blend. The skinner Blend blends two or three colours together to get a thin piece of clay...
