You can make these cool initial necklaces in any font, size, and color that you like, or even spell out words. Have fun with it. Note that the clay itself is firm, but because of the delicateness of the shape, if you drop these pieces on the floor, they might break.

1. Print a sheet with letters in the font and size you would like to create. Insert it into a heavy-duty freezer bag. Mix a small amount of clay.

2. Roll the clay into thin snakes. Then, just as if you were writing, use the clay coils to cover the letters, trimming the snakes with a craft knife as needed. Dip your fingertips into some pigment powder and smooth it over the clay to add a sheen to the letters.

3. Once cured, carefully remove the delicate letters from the plastic. Attach jump rings, either through the loops of the letters or using glue. Thread them onto a chain to turn them into a personalized piece of jewelry.
