DIY Polymer Clay Pizza Necklaces: A Fun and Delicious Accessory

Bring a touch of culinary creativity to your fashion with these adorable DIY Polymer Clay Pizza Necklaces. This easy-to-follow project, inspired by the Etsy shop KunstGabiGoebbels, allows you to craft charming pizza charm necklaces that are perfect for parties, date nights, or simply adding a playful touch to your everyday style.

Here's what you'll need to get started:

Tan, yellow, red, dark red or brown, green, clear liquid polymer clay
Eye pins
Jewelry clasps
Jump rings
Parchment paper
Chain (optional)
Jewelry pliers
Craft tweezers
A clay roller
Clay cutter or craft knife
Clay sculpting tools
Brown or black soft pastel (optional)
Fluffy brush (optional)

Creating the Pizza Crust

Roll out a disc of tan clay for the pizza crust base.
Slice the disc according to the number of charm necklaces you're making.
Roll out a thin rope of tan clay for the crust edges.
Place the rope along the top edge of a slice, smoothing the area where the rope and flat triangle meet.
Add texture to the sides of each slice with a clay sculpting tool.
Insert an eye pin into the top of each slice.
Carefully spread red clay onto each slice for the "tomato sauce" and repeat with yellow clay for the "cheese".
To make pepperoni, roll out dark red clay into tiny balls. To make bell peppers, roll green clay into a thin rope and slice it.
Gently place clay pepperoni and bell peppers on each slice, curving green pieces first.

Baking and Assembly

Place pizza pendants on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake according to package directions.
Once cooled, insert a strand of chain through the eye pin of each charm and attach jewelry clasps using jump rings.

Customizing Your Pizza Necklaces

The DIY pizza necklaces are easy to customize with various toppings, allowing you to create a unique design for each wearer. For added versatility, you can turn pizza charms into earrings by adding an earring hook or make stud earrings by skipping the eye pins and gluing a stud earring blank to the back of each slice.

If you're feeling extra creative, you can even turn your pizza necklaces into keychains by adding a large jump ring to a pendant and placing it on a key ring.
