handmade: How to Make Double Bow Necklace

What do you need for Double Bow Necklace?

Polymer clay

Cutter

Jump rings

Jewelry pliers

Clasp

Chain

Oven

Pencil

It’s so easy. Follow the steps below:

Next take a small bit of clay, roll it out and flatten it like in the first picture. Wrap it around your bow, cut the excess and flatten it a bit. That’s it – you have your bow.

To make holes, it helps to put a pencil or any barrel shaped object inside – it’s used to hold the shape. Poke out your circle per usual.

Bake your clay according to the directions on the package. Let it cool, varnish (if you want) and attach your jump rings and chain on it. Necklace done!
