Clay charms and keychains {DIY} ideas

Every once in a while I get into a certain craft for a week and then it dies down and I find a new craft to get into for the week. Anyway, this week it was clay. I found that clay in my closet from last Christmas. So I decided to make some little charms and keychains. Wanna take a look?

Here is the clay I'm using, it's just regular polymer clay. Buy it here, I got it in Spring Lilac and just purple.

 

 My Prim Rose:

 I used clear nail polish as a sort of glaze, I know you can buy clay glaze but it tends to be pretty thick, this brand of nail polish works perfectly. Buy it here.

 Hearts:

Rings:

 My favorite, Rosebud earrings: 

 This is just a charm. See the cool texture? I used lace to create it.

 And my unfinished projects.

Flat rose:

Rosebuds:

Ring:

 Tools I use:

For the rings I use the top of a nail polish bottle to shape:

 I use a butter knife to cut and flatten.

I used a seam ripper to cut little parts and for holes.

 My charms are baking in my toaster @250 degrees for 15 minutes.
