Epoxy Clay Jewelry DIY Pendant in 5 Steps

Here are the steps to follow! It’s such an easy project!

Step 1: Mix Your Clay

Take equal parts of A and B from your epoxy clay. Knead them together until they are fully blended, following the instructions from your clay’s packaging.

Step 2: Shape and Place

Roll the clay into a ball, then press it into your jewelry bezel. You can make it flat or keep it slightly rounded for extra depth. (Yes, I should have been wearing gloves, so do as I say, not as I do, please!)

Step 3: Add the Sparkle to the Epoxy Clay Jewelry DIY

Using tweezers to carefully add swarovski crystals to the epoxy clay jewelry piece

With tweezers, place each crystal into the clay. Give each gem a gentle press so it bonds securely. These gems are small, so you will need a little patience, and a good pair of tweezers will definitely make your life easier!

Step 4: Brush on Pigment

Dust the surface with pigment powder for shimmer and color. This instantly makes your jewelry piece look more polished and professional.

I went with a white pigment powder, but feel free to go bold! Different colors will offset the crystals beautifully!

Step 5: Cure and Finish

After curing brushing off excess pigment powder from jewelry piece

Let the pendant cure for 12-24 hours. Once set, gently brush off any excess pigment powder. Your unique piece of handcrafted jewelry is ready to wear!

When it cures, it is rock solid! So, don’t be gentle when you are brushing off the excess pigment!

Wow! The Finished Pendant

It looks AMAZING! I love how it sparkles and shines! And it was SO EASY!

It makes me so happy!

This project is a perfect piece to put together a jewelry making kit! It’s a boutique quality piece that is going to impress everyone!

And it’s a great way to use leftover materials from other jewelry craft projects or clearance bezels, which are my favorite find!
