  5. How to Make 1. Roll clay out about 3/8 of an inch thick for medallions and pendants. You can do this with a rolling pin using two wooden rulers as guides.

  6. How to Make 2. Cut out the shapes you want from the rolled out clay. Stamp or carve into the clay to decorate your medallions, pendants and charms.

  7. How to Make You can also place leaves on the clay and use a rolling pin to flatten in the leaf, use stamps or anything you can find around your house with interesting texture.

  8. How to Make 3. Make a hole in the pendant where you would want to attach the cord.

  9. How to Make If you want, you can make a tube instead of a hole for the string. (It must have a way to attach a cord.)
