Want to make something sweet for Mom? How about a handmade heart?!

Mom’s love something that comes from the heart… so why not make her a pretty rustic handmade heart pendant or bead out of air dry clay? Here are some instructions for making handmade hearts two different ways to give to your mom this Mother’s Day.

You will need the following tools and materials to make these clay hearts:

1: Air dry clay.

2: A skewer.

Follow these steps to make these cute clay hearts:

1: Pull out two small pieces of clay from the package.

2: Work the clay a little bit and form them into balls.

3: Take one ball and flatten it slightly.

4: Using your fingers form the flattened clay into a rough triangle shape.

5: Use the skewer to define the top of the heart.

6: Poke the skewer through the top of the heart to turn it into a pendant.

7: Create your desired pattern on the heart pendant. I used the end of the skewer to create a polka dot effect.

8: Repeat steps 3 to 4 to form the second heart shape.

9: Use the skewer again to make a hole through the center of the second heart that runs from top to bottom.

10: Create a pattern on the second heart.

11: Set both hearts aside to dry!
