Bold necklaces accentuate any outfit and help you to stand out from everyone else. This piece was inspired by contemporary jewelry pieces. For this project I used: Granite scupley clay 12mm silver jump rings 24 inch Silver jewelry chain Jewelry pliers (needle nose and round nose) Gem Tac 12ss and 30ss Crystal Rhinestones Wax tipped tool or tweezers  Begin by rolling out scupley clay to ¼ of an inch. Cut out shapes; I used rectangle, triangle and rhombus. Using a poker tool or toothpick, poke holes in the corners to be able to connect with jump rings after baking. Make sure the holes are wide enough to fit a jump ring. Place on a white sheet of paper on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 275 degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.  When cool, connect the pieces to each other using jump rings and then to the necklace chain. Place a drop of glue on the pendant slightly larger than the rhinestone you wish to glue and using the wax tipped tool or tweezer place in the glue drop. Gently press the rhinestone into the glue. Continue gluing until your necklace is embellished. Allow to dry flat for 24 hours.  Experiment with different shapes, sizes and colors! Whatever you decide to do, you will surely be making a statement.

Bangles are a beautiful accessory that originated in South Asia. Ranging from thick to thin, plastic to gold, plain to ornate, you will certainly make a statement when you wear one. For this project I used: Empty soda pop can White Sculpey clay 11 - 7 mm Silver Square Metal Trim 19 - 4 mm Silver Round Metal Trim 12ss Crystal Rhinestones Flat back Gem Tac Tweezers or wax tipped tool  Roll out Sculpey clay to ¼ of an inch thickness, approximately 8.5 inches long and 1 inch in width. Lay the clay strip on an empty soda can and lay this on the side on a white piece of paper on a cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated 275 degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. When cool, slide the bangle off soda pop can.  Using a piece of graph paper, outline the dimensions of the bangle. Lay the metal trim and rhinestones out on the graph paper. Once you are happy with your design, transfer the embellishments to your bangle. Begin by placing a drop of glue on the bangle and then place a piece of metal trim in the glue and press down. Continue until the pattern is completed on your bangle. Allow to dry for 24 hours.  You will feel beautifully accessorized every time you wear this bangle. And it is so easy to make, you’ll want to make several!
