Rotate the finger 90 degrees and press again to create a heart shape. When you lift the finger back up, you should see a nice indent and the fingerprint. Help your child press her finger down into the clay and hold it still for about 5 seconds. Now it’s time for fingerprints! You can just add one fingerprint if you like, but I did two in the shape of a heart. Press until you have a circle that’s a bit larger than quarter size now (see above). I used a bowl that had a smooth flat surface on the bottom to press down on the clay. Next, fold the parchment paper over on top of the ball of clay, then place something with a flat surface on top of it and press down. Place the ball of clay on a square of parchment paper (penny is just there for sizing reference). If you are using older kid or adult fingerprints, you’ll want a slightly larger ball of clay. Shoot for slightly smaller than a penny if you are going to make a pendant using little kids’ fingerprints. Next, pull of a small piece of clay and roll it between your hands to make a ball. Knead it between your fingers until it starts to feel soft and pliable (the silver clay took quite a bit more kneading than the white did).
To begin, break off one of the four “bricks” of clay that come in a package. One package of clay would make around 20 pendants, so this DIY gift idea is super affordable! I also made a few pendants from silver Sculpey clay, which I found at Joann’s for closer to three dollars. I found small packages of white Sculpey brand oven-bake clay at Walmart for about a dollar each. jump rings (if you want to hang it from a necklace – look in the jewelry making section of the store) OR just plan to use string.To make a fingerprint necklace, you will need: These are easy to make, and would be a great DIY gift for Mom or Grandma! I used two fingerprints to create a heart shape on a couple of pendants. I’ve never used oven-bake clay before, so I thought it might be kind of difficult, but I was wrong! This stuff is pretty much as easy as playdough, and baking it is very simple as well. But it was such a cute idea that I decided I wanted to make a new one. Sadly, during a couple of moves a few years ago I lost it. It was so cute! Just a bit of clay with a fingerprint on a piece of string. One year for Mother’s Day one of my kids brought home a necklace he’d made at school with his fingerprint on it. In today’s post: Learn how easy it is to make a fingerprint necklace using oven-bake clay! No special tools required.
