Rainbow Necklace

playing with air dry clay

Pretty rainbow with clouds necklace charm, made from Clay Nara brand air dry clay. Headpin inserted while it was still soft to make it into a charm for a necklace. I put the headpin in with the loop facing to the side so eliminate the need for a jump ring. I used some pastel pink leather cording to make the necklace part, and later I added some knots on either side of the charm then a few more along each half because I thought it looked a little plain. It took me only about a half hour to make, but about 2-3 days to really dry well enough. Usually air dry clay doesn't take that long but considering the delicate details on my miniature charms, I didn't take any chances.
