Bean Bag Toy Heart Necklace
How to Make a Small Heart Necklace

By , About.com Guide

Make this little clay heart necklace for all of your stuffed animals and other stuffed toys.

Materials Needed:

  • Red Clay or Play Dough
  • Yarn
  • Heart-Shaped Cookie Cutters
  • Straw
  • White Acrylic Paint
  • Gold Acrylic Paint
  • Yellow Acrylic Paint

Instructions:
Make red clay or play dough (you can check out my Crafty Recipes page for a recipe you like). Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Use the straw to make a small hole along the top of the heart. Let the clay harden (follow the directions for whichever recipe you choose).

Once the clay heart is hardened, paint a white TY on it and let that dry. You can also use the gold paint to make a border around the edge of the heart and the yellow paint to make a star on the heart, just like the real thing! Once the paint is dry, string yarn through the hole, tie, and wear your new bean bag toy necklace!

Optional: You can use clear acrylic spray to seal the paint and make the hearts shiny.
