Heart Necklace

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Make yourself or someone else a heart-shaped necklace using clay.

Materials Needed:

  • Red Clay or Play Dough
  • Yarn
  • Heart-Shaped Cookie Cutters
  • Straw

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). Lace yarn through the hole, tie, and wear your new necklace with pride or give it to someone as a gift!

Optional: You can use clear acrylic spray to make the hearts shiny. You can also use glitter, sequins, or other misc. supplies to decorate the hearts.
