About Handmade Polymer Clay |
| One of the good things about polymer clay is its durability, its versatility and its light weight. One popular application of polymer clay is jewelry: polymer clay can be used to make beads, pendants, bracelets, and neckpieces. Some of the jewelry items include earrings, necklaces, pins and barrettes. It is so light weight you will forget you are wearing a necklace and your ears will never feel the weight of a large bead. Many people will wonder how the polymer clay jewelry gets all the colors and sparkle that most of them exhibit and catch the eye. This can be added to the polymer clay through the use of micas, which are colored pigments, and metallic sparkles and kaolin clay which makes the polymer opaque. This type of polymer clay is also definitely a good choice for people who are interested in making jewelry at home. |
