Think Crafts Blog – Craft Ideas and Projects – CreateForLess

Sometimes just a simple necklace can make the outfit or in this case the costume. Even if costumes are not your thing, adding this little gem to an everyday outfit makes you one of the Dr.’s creations and should gain you admittance to any Halloween shindig.

To make yours gather these simple supplies:

polymer clay in Black

Black embroidery floss

Lobster clasp and jump ring

Needle or toothpick

Take a little of the clay and roll out a snake. Cut it into 1″ long pieces, then taper the ends a little. Make about 12 to 15 “stitches”, to make the X just place the one coil over the other and pinch them together a bit.  Once the stitches are ready take the needle or toothpick and push it through the clay pieces.

Next bake the clay according to the instructions on the package.

When the clay has cooled thread the pieces onto a piece of black embroidery floss. I tied little knots on either side of the clay piece to hold them in place. Add the lobster clasp to one end and the jump ring on the other.

The necklace is done and so is your costume!
