Top Tip
Make sure you open and separate your split ring slightly before threading through your clay to prevent any breakage.
How to Make
- Make sure you have a mat down for any mess with your clay, choose your chosen colours for your keyrings.
- Work two lines of the clay in your hands until it starts to soften, start with one colour first. Roll out flat to roughly 3mm thick.
- Now break off one line of another colour and soften in your hands, make three pea size balls and place these sporadically onto the rolled out clay.
- Mix the colours together by moving it in between your fingers slowly, try not to over work it or you will lose the other colour altogether. You should now see a marbled effect in your clay. Roll back flat and use your chosen shape to cut out as many shapes as you wish.
- Using a pencil make a whole at the top centre of your shape, not too near the edge to avoid it splitting when dry.
- Press a wooden initial into the centre below the hole using the tip of the pencil, remove gently using the pencil to lift out of the clay.
- Repeat these steps with as many colours, shapes and initials as you wish. Once done place them onto a baking tray, then oven bake at 275°F / 135°C for 30 minutes, then allow the firm clay to cool completely.
- Fill your initials with pva and sprinkle your chosen glitter colours over.
- Once dry, add your split rings and keychains and they are ready to use!
