inspired with Endstand (great Finnish band) logo
Few days ago I saw one belt buckle inspired with this (Endstand) logo, and decided to make a big pendant for my new "screw" necklace.

    Step 1

    Here you can see what do you need:
    - kitchen towels
    - acrylic paint in black and white
    - scalpel
    - glue for paper and wood
    - scissors
    - paint brushes
    - rubber rope
    - screws instead of beads
    - acrylic clear top coat (I used clear nail polish)
    - pattern for pendant printed on paper
    - water spray (this is water in old deodorant bottle)

    Roll out the fimo clay, let it be about 2mm thick.
    Put the pattern on it, and cut it around with scalpel.
    Don't forget to make the holes for chain (or rubber rope, or rope, as you wish).
    Dry it in the oven (you have the instructions on the package of fimo clay).

    Apply the paper pattern on the pendant. You probably mentioned that now I have another pattern, well, if you don't have laser jet printer, don't wet the pattern before applying (I did that and the ink went crazy :))
    If you do, you can wet it and apply it that way, it's quite easier. Put it on the kitchen towel and spray it with water before applying.

    Apply glue on pendant, stick the pattern on it, and finish with one coat of glue. It is white when it's wet, but it'll be clear when it dries.
    Don't forget to make holes again, this time on the paper (you can use toothpick).

    Paint the edges with black (or don't) and finish with one or two coats of clear acrylic top coat.
