  • Procedure:
    1. Makin's Clay dries in the air. Depending on its consistency, it will dry within 24 hours. Take some small pieces of natural coloured Makin's Clay. Dab and wipe these pieces on a colour cube from the chalks kit. Thoroughly mix the powder and the clay and produce four different hues in this manner. Store them carefully in a plastic container. Push fragments of clay into the push-mould and turn it over. This way you can see what's going on inside the mould. Push the superfluous clay along the edge and back into the mould. The push-mould is flexible; push the shells out of it a small way.


    2. For the brooch, stick 3 shells onto one another with a little water (see photo). Pass a few hat pins through the shells and let them dry.

    3. Highlight the shells a bit by colouring them with chalk. Varnish the shells with the Aleene's satin varnish, if desired.

    4. For the chain, cut 3 equal lengths of steel wire and, for the armband, 2 equal lengths of steel wire. Thread the beads and the shells onto the steel wires and stick the ends down with a piece of sticky tape.

    5. For the chain, thread (4 times) 6 rainbow beads onto the wires followed by some small shells (with 3 beads between each pair of shells).

    6. Then thread on (4 times) 6 rainbow beads (see photo). For the armband, thread on some shells with 3 beads in the middle. Pass the ends of the steel wire through a squeeze bead and then through the small ring of the small clasp.

    7. Pass the steel wire again through the squeeze bead and pull it tight.

    8. Flatten the squeeze bead with the bent pincers and cut off the remaining length of steel wire.

    9. Likewise, for the earrings, thread some shells and beads onto pieces of steel wire and fix these to the ear pins using squeeze beads.

    10. Turn the brooch upside down (horizontal) and glue the pin brooch with the two-part epoxy to the back of the shells.
