Polymer Clay Hair Barrettes

What You'll Need:
A strong Polymer Clay: Premo or Fimo or Cernit
Pearl-Ex Pigment Powders
Pasta Machine or Clay Roller
Barrette Backing
E6000 glue
How To Make It:
1. Using a thick sheet of clay, cut out a rectangle large enough to cover barrette

2. Press barrette into clay, curving clay to match curve of barrette. Bake barrette with clay (to retain the shape)

3. You have two choices here. You can do as I've done and sandwich the barrette edges in a wad of clay, pressed into the back of the baked barrette or...

4. Use E6000 glue and just glue that sucker right down. Both ways work.

5. Finish off by buffing on a buffing wheel or apply Future Floor Wax for a nice sheen.

6. Oh, and may we say,"voila, you're done!"

Note: Get creative! See that first barrette? We covered the baked barrette in
pre-mixed grout, layed in beads, poly clay charms and even a penny!
