Create Pendant
Press the clover button into the circle of clay, then peel away to reveal the shape (Images 1 & 2). Use a skewer to poke a small hole at the top of the circle of clay (Images 3 & 4). Allow the clay to dry for 24 hours.

Assemble Necklace
Use a pair of pliers to open the O ring, then thread the ring through the hole in the clay. Use the pliers to close the ring (Image 1). Thread the chain through the O ring (Image 2). Now you're ready to show off your new creation!
