Faux Jade Pendants - CHA Make & Take Project

Today in the Makin's Clay® Booth #1421 at the Craft and Hobby Association Mega Show in Anaheim, CA, Design Team members Candice Windham, Lisa Haney, Steph Ackerman, Irit Shalom and I will be showing attendees how to create their own Faux Jade pendants with Makin's Clay® and Makin's Brand® tools.  I recently shared instructions for creating this pendant with a JudiKins Clay Squisher, today I am sharing another version made with two Makin's® Texture Sheets - so you finished pendant is double sided!  If you are at the show, stop by and see their great new products, and make your own Faux Jade pendant with their Designers!

Step #2 Mix paint into clay to create a marbled effect. 

Step #3 Add about a pea sized amount of Hunter green
acrylic paint.

Step #4 Mix paint into clay to create a marbled effect.

 

Step #5 Apply a small amount of corn starch to each side of the two texture sheets which will touch the clay.

Step #6 Place ball of marbled clay between the two texture sheets and gently apply pressure to transfer the texture to the clay, flattening the clay to desired thickness.

Step #7 Remove top texture sheet, use circle cutter to cut circle from textured clay. 

Step #8 Use a large straw to make a hole in center of clay.

Step #9 Use your finger to smooth any rough edges of hole and outside of the clay edges.

HINTS: If clay starts to dry during project, just spritz with water and kneed in fingers until soft again. Set aside the pendant to dry overnight or until clay is completely dry.
