You will need any type of polymer clay in multiple colors of your choice. I use Fimo :D For these necklaces, you can use as many colors as you want, BUT to make it look realistic, I prefer to use at least 3 different colors :D
From the colors of your choice, take 3 small lumps (LOL funny word xDD), and roll it until it's a smooth ball.
roll the lumps into strands, not too thin though. Make sure the strands are fairly the same length.
now gently twist, the strands...**you're not using a braiding technique**
since your 3 strands are twisted into 1, roll it so the texture is smooth, and it will look something like this.
repeat steps 4 & 5 ... twist, and roll, until the strand gets thinner. **TIP-the more your twist and roll, the closer the colors come together, and the more realistic it will turn out :) BUT don't twist and roll until its too thin and breaks off
Roll it until it turns into a circle :)
take a small lump of white polymer clay and roll it into a medium strand. This will be the stick part of the lollipop *if too long, cut to the desired length
place the stick under the main piece, *make sure its directly under where the lollipop ends. then, put a little pressure from the main piece onto the stick, so they're attatched
Take a SMALL piece of clay, color your choice and roll into a smooth textured ball . ** this will be the bow on your lollipop, **OPTIONAL STEP***
press the ball into a rectangular shape, with curved edged. Then pinch in the middle of the rectangle.
press the bow onto where the lollipop ended (directly on the stick), and take a tiny piece of clay and press it onto the center of the bow.
you will need one of these clamp wire type thing..I forget what its called but it looks like this **TIP** I like to bend it a little so when it dries in the clay, it won't come out
stick the wire into the lollipop DIRECTLY above the stick of the lollipop, it should look something like this. **MAKE sure the circle part of the wire is flat, and not sticking up
allign your lollipop on a metal non stick tray ( you can use a cookie sheet) , be careful and make last minute arrangments to your lollipop if you wish to do so. put in the oven and wait :D **normally, for clays you put it in at 230 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes
attatch your jump ring and chain, and this is your final result !
Now SMILEEE because you just made a cute lollipop necklace all on your own :3 <333 ps- yes thats me x.x
