How to Make a Pendant with Air Dry Clay

Step 1: Create the pendant shape

  • Take a sufficient amount of clay, knead it until soft, then use your hands or a mold to shape it. You can be creative with many different shapes such as circles, hearts, squares or more complex shapes.
  • Use a skewer to make a small hole at the top of the pendant to thread the necklace through when finished.

Step 2: Dry

  • Once you have shaped your pendant, you will need to let it air dry for about 24-48 hours. This will allow the clay to harden and be ready for decorating.

Step 3: Decorate the pendant

  • Once the clay is completely dry, you can use acrylic paint to draw designs or decorate it as you like. To make the pendant more eye-catching, you can apply a layer of clear paint to create shine and protect the colored paint.

Step 4: Attach the chain

  • Attach the metal hook to the pre-made hole, then thread the leather or metal cord through the hook. So you have completed a simple but beautiful pendant for men and women.

How to make a pendant with resin

Step 1: Prepare Resin

  • Resin is a very popular material in jewelry making. First, you need to mix the resin with the hardener according to the recommended ratio. Note that this process needs to be done in a well-ventilated area.

Step 2: Pour Resin into the mold

  • Pour the resin into the silicone mold of your choice. You can add decorative accessories such as dried flowers, small stones, or glitter to make the pendant more unique.

Step 3: Let the plastic harden

  • The resin takes about 24-48 hours to fully cure. Be sure not to move the mold while the resin is curing to avoid damaging the pendant's shape.

Step 4: Finish the pendant

  • Once the resin has hardened, you can drill a small hole to thread the wire through. If you want the men's pendant to be shiny, apply a coat of clear paint. Finally, thread the wire through and finish the product.
