So I thought it would be fun to have a heart necklace. I just looked up heart looking cakes/cupcakes, pictures from books, toys, anything that helps you make it. I'm sorry if my how to may be on the sucky side I ended up not taking pictures and playing with it and creating. So I'm sorry if there are not many pictures. I'll be super happy to answer any questions the best I can. ^_^

You are going to have to role out a few pieces of clay like this. About pencil thick
Cut one of your rolls at a slant like in the picture
Connect the slant cut piece to a regular roll and that piece and done for now :D "Y" shape
Make a ball like shape. Think of making a heat <3 but without the round bits at the top, and round the pointed part. if that makes sense? Take a rolled out piece of clay like in the picture and apply it to the balls shape like so.
Make a wishbone looking piece. Best way to describe it lol
Put your wishbone piece thought the opening that on your ball piece of clay. Get as close as you can to the rolled piece that made that opening.
Cut about that much off or more on the front piece of the "wishbone" and discard it. Attack your "wishbone piece securely to everything :D
You are then going to be attaching the first piece you made; the "Y" shape,and two other rolled out pieces. I also push wire through the long rolled pieces to be able to shape them where they should go and keep them from flailing around. Behind the "wishbone" which is basically just flattening out a piece of clay to a circle and pulling bits of clay up to form a finger like piece. Basically a deformed hand with random fingers. Then make two more small ball clay pieces and put them on each side like you're finally adding the round bits from the top of a heart <3 sorry that was long -_-
For the wire in the back to have the necklace connect to the heart I took two pieces of wire for each look and twisted them together to make it thicker for lack of stronger wire. I then pushed it into the back of my heart. ^-^ Then bake in the oven. I did it at 350* F for 10 minutes. Just follow the directions of your clay @_@
Paint it red. i did a scarlet red.
Add some veins. I did a mix of black and red for it. I then put Treasure Crystal Cote a high gloss finishing to make it shiny and juicy-ish looking. Wait for it to dry and connect your necklace
Tadaaaaaa Done woo that was long
