Metal Clay Heart Charm

Metal Clay Heart Charm

Tammy Powley
Even if you have no previous metal clay experience, this heart charm project will be a cinch to make. Once you make a few charms, you can then incorporate them into all kinds of jewelry designs, such as my Queen of Hearts Metal Clay and Crystal Earring project. You'll need:

*Low-fire silver metal clay (about a dime-sized piece)
15mm metal heart-shaped cutter
Olive oil
6 playing cards
Misc. metal clay hand tools such as a roller and work surface
Hot pot or butane torch
Jar of water
Metal tongs
Fine sand paper or emery board
Corsage pin
Bead reamer
Burnishing brush

*You can use either PMC3 or Art Clay 650 for this project. Other types of clay will work too, but more than likely the other clays (depending on what you use) will require you to use a kiln to fire them in.
