How To Make Pendants Out Of Polymer Clay - A Quick Tip

How To Make Pendents

Tip #33: Giving Your Polymer Clay Pendants A Professional Looking Beveled Edge:

Sometimes the simplest of tips can be very handy. For example, an easy way to create a professional looking beveled edge around your polymer clay pendant, is to use plastic wrap and a cookie cutter.

After conditioning your clay and rolling it out flat, cover the clay sheet with the plastic or saran wrap. Then use a cookie cutter to punch out your pendant shape… pushing down through the plastic wrap and then right through the clay as well. Be careful though, not to cut the plastic with the edge of the cookie cutter.

With this technique, you will end up with a very even bevel around the outer edge of your pendant jewelry piece. Quick. Easy. Simple. Cindy Lietz, The Polymer Clay Tutor
