Charming

These are my first attempts at making polymer clay charms as gifts for all the little girls I know. There are soooo many cute projects in The Polymer Clay Cookbook, but I’m running out of time before Christmas to make more. I definitely want to try the bacon and eggs plate and some of the other savory dishes. I found them easier than expected to make. They require just tiny amounts of clay, and once you have the clay out it’s easy to make four or five at a time.  The hardest part actually was wrapping the wire to make the little jewelry attachments.

In addition to the charms, I’m making some without the jewelry wire for my son, who I think will enjoy playing with them with all the little animal figurines he likes to set up.

    Those are really cute, and it’s a great idea to make them as presents for little girls. 🙂 I used to play with polymer clay, but I haven’t in a long time…
