  Step 1

  This is what you need

• 

  Step 2

  Take a piece of your modelling clay which is big enough for your bead or pendant to make a mold out of it.

• 

  Step 3

  Flatten it and cover it with Baby Powder, so you can take your item later easier out of the clay.

• 

  Step 4

  Push your item carefully in the modelling clay.

• 

  Step 5

  Take your item carefully out of the modelling clay and let the clay dry.

• 

  Step 6

  Take a piece of polymer clay which fits in your mold and knead it so that is easy to use.

• 

  Step 7

  Use a little bit of the baby powder for the mold, so you can take the polymer clay easier out of it.

• 

  Step 8

  Push the polymer clay in the mold.

• 

  Step 9

  Take your polymer clay carefully out of the mold.

• 

  Step 10

  Cut the edges and make it a little bit even.
  Ready is it!!!

Wonder how hard it'd be to make a 2-part mold this way? And whether you could then use it for pewter... Thank you, you've made me think crafty again

can you use resin to fill the mold instead of clay?

That's kind of curious. I bought it some weeks ago in a bead store...

This is a little off topic, but I have the exact same charm.I inherited it from my greatgrandmother and never really knew where it was from or how old it was.What a coincidence, I was googling polymer clay and this popped up!lol
Anyway where'd you get your charm? If you don't mind my asking
Handy tutorial too!I'm sure I'll pit it to use!
