A year ago Marni x H&M worked together and made a beautiful collection. Inspired by one of those pieces - worn here by the lovely Liene of the Belgian blog Suriel - I tried to create my own and fun DIY version!What you'll need- Fimo (or another kind of polymer clay)- little balls of styrofoam (I used 8 of 3,5 cm and 2 of 4 cm)- leather cord- the template extra: a pin, an oven, a cutter, tinfoil The templateTutorialStep by step1) Cover the balls in tin foil and make "a tail"2) Roll out the clay and cut out the template3) Make two little holes in the clay4) Place the clay around the ball5) Bake!6) When the clay is baked you will see the balls shrunk and you can easily remove them 7) Weave the cord through the little holes you made earlier
There you go!I am in love with the result! How about you?Stay up to date of the latest Operation DIY posts through Facebook.
A new statement necklace this time inspired by the Marni x H&M Collection.What you'll need- polymer clay (I used "Fimo" in the colours tangerine and bordeau)- needle and thread- a leather cord Tutorial
TemplateStep by step1) Make "pancakes" out of the clay: 3 mm thickness2) Put the pancakes in the freezer for 15 minutes 3) Cut out the template4) Use the template to cut the forms out of the clay5) Make little holes in the shapes 6) Bake them TIP: After baking the shapes directly put them under some heavy books till they cool down. It will prevent the shapes from curling up.6) Now the hard work starts. Start sewing the pieces together. Secure them well, you can add little spots of spray when necessary7) Often look in the mirror when you are sewing all the little pieces together. It helps to keep an eye on the whole.
Make it your own and enjoy it!
