Introduction
Do not worry, as no specific artistic skillset is required – just your enthusiasm! It should only take about 30 minutes to make these pendants, with about five from a single batch. Enjoy this simply stay-at-home project with the entire family!
What you need
- Pratley Steel Putty
- Kraftex Decoupage Sealant
- Glitter or paint (of your own choice. I use a variant of gold paint and gold glitter, which makes for a pleasant contrast)
- Wax thread or jewellery chains (this can be repurposed items)
Optional
- A silicone mould
Step 1
Cut the Pratley Steel Putty into small sections, each one of which will be turned into an individual pendant. Pratley Steel Putty Steel is a hand-mouldable putty that not only sets like steel, but matches its colour as well.
Step 2
Use your hands to mould each separate piece of Pratley Steel Putty into different shapes for the pendants.
Step 3
You should ultimately end up with a shape that is round and fairly sculpted. Be sure that the shape tapers to an end point where it is easy to make a hole through.
Step 4
Below are some more examples of the shapes and sizes that can be made. Note the holes through which the wax thread or jewellery chain can be threaded easily.
Step 5
Use Kraftex Decoupage Sealant in order to give the pendants a high-gloss coating.
Step 6
Apply glitter of your choice to the layer of Kraftex Decoupage Sealant before it has set for that added touch of glamour, as well as whatever paint effects desired. Feel free to experiment!
