New Year's Ball using Jewelry Clay

I was thinking of the beautiful ball that drops in New York for New Year's and came up with this cute little pendant!

The ball is made with Envirotex Jewelry Clay.

I'm also using these tiny rhinestones I found at Hobby Lobby.

Mix up a batch of Jewelry Clay and roll it into a ball...

Take a head pin and slide it through the center of the ball.

Press some rhinestones into the ball either at random or in your desired pattern...

Coat the ball with some Pearl Ex.
I'm using 663 Silver.

Let this set for 24 hours to harden.

Once set trim the pin down...

Use the jewelry pliers to make a coil with the pin...

Attach to a necklace with a jumpring and your ready for a rockin' New Year's Eve!!
