Today, we are continuing the Metal Clay magic DIY tour. Next upward, a Morse Code Bar Necklace.
A piddling more than substantial than the triangle pendant, but still understated together with elementary.
In comparison, much easier than the trіаnglе nесklасе too of a like level to the hаmmеrеd dіѕс nесklасе. This is something that would be suitable for any beginner. If y’all are new to these posts, showtime hіthеr for a total photographic tutorial of how Metal Clay works too the procedure inward particular.
T create the bar, commencement with a small sausage ringlet of clay:
…as well as create a rectangle using something that tin mould the directly lines of each side:
A craft knife can also help, but if yous aren’t completely happy, the sanding phase will also
straighten too smoothen any edges.
Next, marking the morse code.
I used google interpret to discover the initials that I would mark on my bar and a metallic pen
to create the dots in addition to lines:
You tin easily lightly grade these on to the clay – in addition to if y’all are unhappy,
smooth over as well as first again.
Once happy wit your blueprint, define farther – but the dots and lines won’t shrink amongst drying or firing, thus don’t experience y’all have to overcompensate for whatever decorations or textures with this clay:
[a toothpick industrial plant only equally good if yous don’t have the metal pen]
Finally, I created a channel to brand the bar a bead, alongside a route to fix the bar to a chain past
running a length of wire through the eye:
Dry the clay completely alongside a hairdryer too so shine any rough edges amongst sandpaper:
Once completed, fire on the gas hob together with and then buff the clay to discover a gorgeous metal bar:
I then threaded the bar amongst a gilt bar wire, twisted too trimmed at the stop to create a chain attachment at either finish:
…adding a golden chain to contrast alongside the argent bar:
Another fun as well as much-easier-to-create-than-expected jewellery item.
These brand cracking gifts and tin concur a hugger-mugger message, the initials of a loved one or adapted to scribe important dates, locations or words.
What practise yous intend of this pattern? Three completely different pieces created from the same clay. Come back on Friday to run into the quaternary too final DIY.
But earlier then……
