McCaw Feather Necklace with Cindi McGee
Use Red, Yellow and Blue polymer clay or Makin’s Clay® to make an assortment of both sizes of feather using the CreateAlong.com Blowing in the Wind Feather Mold.
Cut jewelry wire to the desired length. Alternating between a green glass bead and then a feather, begin mounting to jewelry wire by making a small ball of clay in the same color of each feather, place beneath the wire. Then gently press the feather over the ball of clay to adhere the two pieces. Fresh clay will stick to fresh clay without additional adhesive. If your feathers have started to dry just slightly, moisten with a touch of water. If adhesive is needed, use Beacon® 527 to mount feather to ball of fresh clay.
