Soften and roll out some clay about 1/4" thick.

Stamp an impression right into the clay with even pressure.
Use a cookie cutter to cut the clay.
Add a necklace hole by poking the clay with a straw.
Place on a tray and bake according to package directions.
(I did it 15 minutes at 275* F)

Now it is time to paint!
Start by giving each pendant a base coat color...and let it dry.

Next add one new color:
Dab another color on it and get down in all the cracks.
Just over a select part of the pendant.

Then use a damp cloth and wipe off the top surface of the paint.
Repeat.
Add on some more paint, in another color!
Wipe again.

Keep wiping gently and the paint on the highest surface will
wipe off and show the white clay again!

For a stunning sort of multi-colored tie dye effect!

The effects are so beautiful, you'll want to make a few!

Finish them off with a clear varnish to seal the paint!

Step 4: Enjoy!

 These are gorgeous and would make great ornaments too!
Add a chain, cord or whatever to make a stunning necklace!
