DIY Clay Bead Necklace


Kenny bought some oven-bake clay for work. He didn't need all of it so we spent an evening making Poké balls, Magic 8 balls, and shark-shaped earrings (it was kind of a challenge to see how weird we could get).

After that night, I decided it would be fun to make jewelry.
I went to Jo-Ann Fabrics and chose the easier option of already-assembled necklace chains.

At first, it was challenging to make my beads look uniform and attractive. I found rolling the clay in just the palms of my hands made a nice, clean ball. Also, orange sticks made the best holes, not needles.

I baked my pretty beads for 15 minutes.

And put my necklace together.





I chose a $5 black and white Aztec shirt from Rue 21 to make the colors on my necklace pop. The jeans were $12.99 from Ross and the shoes $5 from Walmart.






I may now be a jewelry making addict.
