You will get two small squares of each color.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Clay can be a little hard at first and little fingers may find it challenging to squish in their hands so we can use a table. Take one color and squish the two squares together. Now place on the table and, with the palm of your hand, roll it back and forth<br \/>\nto create a long piece sort of like a worm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Do the same with the second color, rolling it back and forth on the table to create a long worm-like piece. Set this second color right next to the first color. They can even touch (worms like to have friends around). Repeat with the third color.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Now roll all three pieces together to make one large piece. You can twist the pieces to swirl the colors even more. Roll again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Fold the long piece over so that it\u2019s stacked on top of itself. Now roll in a circular motion on the table or in your hand to create a ball.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> When you\u2019re happy with how your swirl looks, press down on the table in the desired shape you want (circle, oval).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 7:<\/strong> Using a straw, press down towards the top of your clay to create a hole.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 8:<\/strong> Bake on foil at 250 degrees for 15 min (as directed on the package). Please be careful as the clay will be very hot. Let cool.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 9:<\/strong> Now you\u2019re ready to thread your charm onto your necklace and secure it through your pendant.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27060\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pendant-clay-charm-e1601304990365.jpg\" alt=\"pendant clay charm\" width=\"700\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pendant-clay-charm-e1601304990365.jpg 922w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pendant-clay-charm-e1601304990365-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pendant-clay-charm-e1601304990365-220x173.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pendant-clay-charm-e1601304990365-768x606.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pendant-clay-charm-e1601304990365-380x300.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>About the Author:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-18186 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/ssww-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Randi-How2PlayToday-242x300.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ssww-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Randi-How2PlayToday-242x300.jpg 242w, https:\/\/ssww-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Randi-How2PlayToday-220x272.jpg 220w, https:\/\/ssww-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Randi-How2PlayToday.jpg 400w\" alt=\"Randi How2PlayToday\" width=\"242\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p>Randi is the founder of How 2 Play Today.
