Polymer Clay How to: Neon Jewellery


Happy Friday Everybody. And who wouldn't be happy with these bright neon colours!

I went all out on the jewellery front this month, and this is just a little more inspiration for you to hit up the polymer clay and get to baking some fancy new polymer jewellery pieces.

We are making two simple types of necklace shapes with polymer today; a round, varied size ball necklace and a geometrically shaped layered necklace, both utilising the same colours in order to save on polymer clay and create unifying look.

If you are wondering if you can wear these together, I would always follow my life rule; more is more. So YES if you didn't wear both of these necklaces together you would be offending my mantra in life OR you could just share the other necklace with a close friend, which is in itself a gratifying token of friendship.









1.  For the first necklace; roll out with clean hands (to avoid dirt attaching to the polymer) 2 x yellow, 1 x purple, 1 x white, 1 x light green. Make them at varying sizes to create interest. 
2. With your Needle Point Clay Tool gently puncture all the polymer clay balls through. Place to the side.

 3. For the Second necklace; Roll out into a ball 1 x large ball purple, 1 sm yellow, 1 x sml light green, 1 x sm white.

4. Using a clean rolling pin flatten the 4 shapes. 
 5. Cut out your shapes using the blade.

6. You will to cut these 4 shapes.
 7. Place a hole in before baking (it is harder to do after baking). Bake in an oven for 10 minutes at 120 C

8. After baking glue your pieces together and dry.


9. Add your string/ band to both designs and wear them how you please!
