DIY Clay Charm Bracelet

0 · Sep 4, 2012 · Stephanie Gerber · 24 Comments

Clay Charm Bracelet

Have you heard of a push present? It’s a lovely tradition of giving a new mom a present to celebrate the birth of a child. (Sometimes the ladies have to educate their hubbies on this one, so you might want to drop a few hints). Mark has done a great job of finding sweet and personal gifts, but with number 3, I decided to make my own. I wanted a pretty wrap bracelet with charms of each of my kiddos initials, and I figured it would be pretty darn easy to make with clay.

Clay Charm Bracelet Instructions

DIY Charm Braclelet Supplies

To make the charms you need a very small piece of clay. Form it into a disc and stamp with the letter of your child’s initial. Poke a tiny hole at the top with a toothpick and then bake according to package directions.

Clay Charm Bracelet

Take leather cord and measure the length you need to wrap around your wrist and then cut. I wrapped 4 times and left a little slack to tie a knot. These pretty colors of leather cord are from Michaels.

Then attach your charms to the cord with a small jump ring. Wrap cord around your wrist and tie into a knot. Note: it was easier for me to tie the cord into a knot by myself than use a lobster clasp closure. Sometimes simpler is better!

      I love letter stamps! I had to buy another set just for mom because the kids keep losing them – so many fun things to do with them!

    I love the idea of non-typical mommy jewelry. I’ve been wanting to make something for myself for awhile. I might just have to include some clay stamping!

      Thanks Jen! I think the clay charms would be great as a necklace too so you can wear it lots of different ways!

    I am so not into typical jewelry, so I like your push present much better than a tacky diamond ring. 🙂

    I am interested in making these with my daughters. What size jump ring do you suggest? You mentioned a small one in your post. Can you suggest an actual size? What width leather cord do you recommend? Can you paint the clay prior to baking? Thanks!!!
