Single-Strand Necklace and Earrings with Sculpey® Polymer Clay, Crystal Passions® Fancy Stones and Almost Instant Jewelry® Silver-Plated Settings

Cut about 1/8 bar each of Sculpey® Soufflé™ cherry pie polymer clay and Sculpey PREMO translucent polymer clay.

Use a blade to chop the clay into small pieces. Add a tiny pinch of imitation silver leaf sheet and a tiny pinch of sparkle green mica powder. Then add a squeeze of Liquid Sculpey clear liquid polymer clay. Knead all the clay together until it adheres as a ball. Roll the clay out until the desired look is achieved. Then set half the clay aside for the earrings.

Place clay into an Almost Instant Jewelry® 14mm silver-plated rounded square drop with a cushion setting.

With the clay still in the setting, bake at 275 Fahrenheit (135 Celsius) for 15 minutes. Let it cool completely.

Remove the clay from the setting and glaze it with JudiKins Diamond Glaze™ adhesive. Let it dry.

Using a drop of Devcon 5 Minute® clear 2-part epoxy, glue the clay into the setting. Let it dry completely.

Cut the following lengths of 2mm silver-plated figure 8 chain:

• One 18-inch length
• Eight 1-inch lengths

Using a 5mm 22-gauge silver-plated round jump ring, attach a 9x4mm silver-plated lobster claw clasp to one end of the 18-inch length of chain. Attach a 5mm 22-gauge silver-plated round jump ring to the other end.

Add the eight 1-inch lengths of chain to a 7mm 20-gauge silver-plated round jump ring.

Using Devcon 5 Minute clear 2-part epoxy, glue a Crystal Passions® 18x13mm pear fancy stone into an Almost Instant Jewelry® 20x5mm silver-plated teardrop link setting. Let it dry.

Attach the clay drop from Steps 1 - 6 and the chain drop from Step 9 to one end of the teardrop link. Then string the teardrop link onto the chain.

Take the clay you set aside in Step 2 of the necklace instructions and fit it into two Almost Instant Jewelry 14mm silver-plated square cushion setting drops.

With the clay still in the setting, bake at 275 Fahrenheit (135 Celsius) for 15 minutes. Let it cool completely.

Remove the clay from the settings and glaze it with JudiKins Diamond Glaze adhesive. Let it dry.

Using a drop of Devcon 5 Minute clear 2-part epoxy, glue the clay into the settings. Let them dry completely.

Using Devcon 5 Minute clear 2-part epoxy, glue a Preciosa MAXIMA 14x10mm pear fancy stone into an Almost Instant Jewelry® 16x12mm silver-plated teardrop link setting. Repeat for the second earring. Let them dry.

Attach the clay drops to the crystal drops using 5mm 22-gauge silver-plated round jump rings. Then attach the crystal drops to 10mm silver-plated filigree domed earstuds.
