Thank you! Here is the steps I followed:
Materials
- Yellow clay
- Orange clay
- A metal loop with a protrusion coming out of it that looks like this: O--- (like a wind up)
- Aluminum foil
- Oven
- Nail varnish or something similar
- Paper clip or some other metal hook thing
- String
1. Mix yellow and orange coloured clay to produce a light goldenrod colour.
2. Use fingers and a hard surface to mold the shape into a heart with both sides relatively flat.
3. Insert the protruding part of the metal loop into the top of the heart where there is an indent. The actual circular part should be the only thing sticking out.
4. Put it on aluminum foil and put that in the oven. Bake on 100-150 Celsius (don't make it really hot) for about half an hour.
5. Let it cool down on the windowsill for half an hour before you touch it, you don't want to get burned.
6. Use a permanent marker to write BEST FRIENDS FOREVER on it.
7. Paint the entire heart with some kind of varnish like clear nail polish to make it shiny.
8. Hang it to dry, using the paper clip, attach it to some object like the neck of your desk lamp, a drum, or a doorknob.
9. The next day (or whenever the nail polish is dry and stable), take your heart locket and thread a string through the metal loop. You can now wear it.
(Optional: You might choose to use a second metal loop, without a protrusion, and link it with the first. Then thread the string through the SECOND loop. This makes your locket able to dangle.)
