I’m
drawn to things that are classic, classy and don’t go out of style. Animal prints are always fashionable and
black and white, well, it just goes with everything! If you have wanted to try polymer clay, this
is a great project to start with. It’s
easy and you can make it an wear it in about an hour!

Designer tip: Any of the bezels in the Spellbinders® Media
Mixáge™ line or The Guilded Life line will work with this project, so choose
your favorite. I chose the square shape
to make the pendant a statement piece.
You can also create a coordinating bracelet and earrings with the
MB1-502S or MB1-503S set.
We will be using the large and the
medium size pendant in the set.
Condition each color of clay by rolling
it through the pasta machine, fold the sheet in half and pass back through
several times until it is soft and pliable.
You can also condition by rolling the clay by hand with a brayer,
folding in half and repeating these steps several times.
Flatten each color of clay to
approximately 1/8” thick
Press the top of the large bezel into the
black clay to create an impression. Cut
out with clay blade and insert black sheet into the bottom of the bezel.
Fill the medium bezel with white
clay.
Cut thin angled strips of black
clay. Position onto white clay to create
zebra pattern stripe. When finished
gently roll a brayer over the surface to even it out and set the stripes in
place.
Bake both bezels according to the
manufacturers directions for approximately 45 minutes and let cool.
Apply a thin coat of clear nail polish
to the clay surface and let dry.
Glue medium bezel into center of large
bezel.
Attach bezels to cording with jump ring.
Attach toggle to cording with jump
rings.
Attach dangle to bottom loop with jump
ring.
