Clay Heart Necklace

"If you've ever gazed longingly in the window of a jewellery store at the sparkly pavé jewellery and wished that you could own one of those exquisite pieces then you'll love this jewellery-making project. Using epoxy resin clay and a selection of sparkly Swarovski crystals, you can make your own look-alike piece of pavé-style jewellery. Just mix the clay, add colour, press it into a heart mould and then cover it with sparkly Swarovski crystals. Once your heart has cured, you can use a bolo slide to turn it into a dazzling necklace."

Notes"This tutorial uses epoxy resin clay moulded into the shape of a heart. The resin clay is like an adhesive so you never have to worry about the crystals falling out."
