- Create a beautiful necklace of your own in polymer clay with an added bead tassel. All the details you need are written below here, but first, sit back, relax, and watch as the process unfolds.
The music from the video is English Country Garden by Aaron Kenny and Waterfall by Aakash Gandhi, both available from the RUclips Free Audio Library.
You can use the RUclips video settings to slow the first forwarded parts of the video if you want to watch at a slower speed. (The music will also slowdown.)

When I condition the clay using my pasta machine, I use setting 3, I do the Skinner Blend through setting 2, the very thin strip of clay for the blend is put through setting 9, and for the covering layer of Black I used setting 7.
If you do not have a pasta machine you can roll the sheet of clay between two even stacks of playing cards. Setting 9 on my machine is 1 playing card thickness, setting 7 is 2 cards, setting 3 is 5 cards and setting 2 is 6 cards thickness.
The Polymer Clay I am using is FIMO Soft, but all well known brands of polymer clay will work well with this technique. I have used 1/2oz (14g) of Silver and Aqua as one blend, Black and Silver as a second blend, and Gold and White as the third blend. The thin layer of clay is 1 oz (28 g) of Black.
To create the large veneer, I added the slices of cane onto about 1 oz (28 g) of scrap clay rolled through a thin, No. 7 setting on the pasta machine.
For the blue/bronze cane option, I used Blends of Pacific Blue and Aqua, Peppermint and White and Bronze and Gold. The thin sheet of wrap around clay colour was Windsor Blue.
For the green/blue cane option, I used blends of Brilliant Blue and White, Tropical Green and White and Sunflower Yellow and White with a Black outline.
Equipment.
• I work on a flat nonporous ceramic tile and bake on a smaller tile. I curved a piece of card for the bead to sit on while it cured.
• I use a polymer clay blade to slice the clay, and a clay roller/brayer roller to roll it.
• I condition and create thin sheets of polymer clay by using a pasta machine dedicated to Polymer Clay use.
• I use a 4mm Cable Needle (something similar will do) to smooth any joints between clay slices.
• I covered pre-made forms available from @_g.f.art_ and added a thin layer of liquid clay to the form first - PVA glue would also work. Link - (www.facebook.c... )
• I created my own paper template to fit one side of the pre-made form.
• I measure the clay cane using a freely downloadable measuring sheet from www.printablepaper.net. I use the 4 squares to 1 inch one, which I laminate. You can also download a cm one.
• When I bake/cure my clay, I always tent my tile in aluminium foil, which helps protect the clay should the oven spike in temperature.
• Once baked/cured, I varnished my bead using Cernit Transparent Gloss varnish. @theclayhubuk ( www.theclayhub... ) I used a scrap of wire through the bead to hold it while I varnished.
• I finished the necklace with complimenting colours of glass beads and silver plated beads - available from all good bead shops, strung on 5 Head pins, which I cut to size and added a loop at the top, using cutting pliers and round nosed pliers. I buy my beads and findings from www.spellbound...
• I used 0.8mm gauge wire threaded through the loops at the tops of the tassels, up through a large bead, then the polymer clay bead and then added a large bead at the top, cut the wire to size and added a loop at the top of that.
• The necklace was finished with two long silver beads on 2mm Black Buna Cord which I cut to size. I added Leather crimps at either end, plus 7mm jump rings and a lobster Clasp.
• The cutter I used to make the earrings was from @kalyandklay www.kalyandkla...

Just a quick question, I know with video editing it only looks like minutes to do each stage.. But in reality from the beginning to final necklace how long did it actually take?
and another question would be how much would you retail that necklace at with all that hard work?
That depends, as it of course takes much longer if I am doing it for a video as I have to stop and film etc ;) But for me I would be able to do it in a day. Also as to the pricing, it would depend on an individual piece, and the finish I get on it, where I was planning on selling it, what other costs were involved etc. so until such time as I am actually planning to sell something, I do not give it much thought, sorry. I know that is not the answer you were probably hoping for, but it is my honest answer.
Love it.
Thank you so much Janna 🙂
HI Fiona! Lovely work. Are the silver and gold clay shimmery?
Thakns so much, Yes they have mica powders in them which give thme a shimmer 🙂
🥰beautiful
Thank you very much 🙂
Without a doubt this is the prettiest Kaleidoscope cane I’ve seen, just stunning!
BTW - even without narration your video was incredibly easy to follow, very well documented.
I definitely plan to try this one!
Thank you so much Corinne 🙂
BONJOUR, VRAIMENT SUPER BELLE CETTE CANE, JE VAI ESSAYER DE LA FAIRE. JE VOUDRAIS SAVOIS OU VOUS AVEZ EU C EST GROSSES PERLES QUI VOUS SERRE DE SUPPORT, MERCI A VOUS DE BIEN VOULOIR REPONDRE A MA QUESTION. j AIME BEAUCOUP CE QUE VOUS FAITES. VALERIE
Merci, le lien pour la forme creuse est ici - ( facebook.com/commerce/products/bases-for-decoration-no-204/4581710141852356/?ref=mini_shop_storefront&referral_code=mini_shop_profile_featured_shop_card_cta ) 🙂
I hate these rushed videos. It's hard to learn that way. You keep pointing at things and I have no idea what you're pointing at. Why can't you just do them normally and do a voice over? Also, I'm not a speed reader.
I am sorry it is not what you wanted this time, I do a mix of the fast ones and then the slower ones, as not everone likes either way of doing it. You can of course slow the video down, using settings, and of course you can pause the video every time the wording comes up, as I have tried to cover everything you need in the captions. I will be doing one of the longer ones again soon. 😉
You know, there are ways to ask for things without sounding like a whiney 3 year old. It's called politeness and showing some gratitude that Fiona is still producing free videos at all instead of moving to patreon as many creatives have. "Please" and "thank you" go a long way too
