This Sunday is National Friendship Day! “If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.” – Maya Angelou. This week we’re changing things up a bit in honor of this wonderful holiday to bring you a craft guide so that you and your friends can get creative while celebrating each other.

  • Polymer Clay Best Friend Necklaces (courtesy of projectswithkids.com)

Supplies

  • Polymer Clay in the colors of your choice.

  • Tools to help shape your clay. You can buy specially made tools for working with polymer clay, which are not very expensive or just use a knife, and something that can be used like a mini rolling pin. Some play dough tools work great also!

  • Mini clay shape cutters or stencils cut out of cardboard in any shape you want.

  • A circle template for the base of the necklace.

  • Small rubber letter stamps.

  • Chopstick or skewer to poke the holes for the necklace.
