This week I’m introducing a new series here at my blog and on my YouTube channel. For the next five weeks I’ll be showing how to make your own miniature charms out of polymer clay.
At the end of the five weeks I’ll show you how to put them all together into a cute charm bracelet.
This week’s project is this simple Christmas stocking. In the video I give tips on keeping white clay clean and show how simple it is to add a fluffy texture. I also have a nifty trick for using a coffee stirrer to make holly leaves!
You could scale up everything and make ornaments or package toppers. Make two for a pair of earrings, or just string one onto a pretty ribbon for a necklace.
If you are new to polymer clay, here are a few tools I’ve found quite helpful:
Whatever you decide to do, I hope you enjoy learning how to create with this fun medium. I also have plans for LOTS more polymer clay videos after the new year, so be watching!
Enjoy the video and happy creating. 🙂
You can watch the Christmas Stockings-Christmas Charms Week 1-Polymer Clay Video Tutorial over at YouTube.
Those are SO CUTE. So we can start Christmasing now? >:)
Only if you’re creating handmade things. 😀
what perfect timing you have! just trying to make a similar bracelet and searching for dangle ideas, made a little ornament & some red and green stars (can’t get the glitter to stick) a sock will now be included on the bracelet & will be waiting for the next edition.
Oh good! I’d love to see what you make, Sue. 🙂
I am computer savy but I don’t know quite how I would show you, within this context.
You can email me the pics, if you like, and I’ll add them.
Thanks! I will do that.
