Rolling Out Silver Metal Clay

1. To begin, you'll need to dab a little olive oil on your roller, and three playing cards stacked on either side of the clay. Now, roll out your metal clay. The cards will help ensure an even thickness for the clay.

Note:
You don't need much clay to make one charm, but if you want to make a few at one time, obviously, you'll need more clay. I don't recommend beginners try to make more than a few to gt started because the clay can get dry as you work. So, shoot for no more than 2 charms if this is your first time working with metal clay.
