1. Start by making two gold star charms. The instructions on the packet of clay suggest kneeding the clay a little before opening it. Then, stack three playing cards (3 cards in two piles) on either side of the clay.

2. After dabbing a little olive oil on your roller, roll out the clay, and then cut out two star shapes using the metal star cutter.

3. Use the corsage pin to put a hole through the top of each star.

4. Set this aside to dry. (I normally allow mine to dry overnight).

5. Once the stars are dry, sand any rough areas with fine sand paper or an emery boards.

6. Fire both stars in a hot pot.

7. You may need to use the sand paper again to rough out any lines or rough spots. It's up to you. I liked the look so I left mine as is.
