Ah…the noble mustache. Everyone loved them, but very few of us can grow something so majestic. What do those of us who CAN’T grow a mustache do? We wear fake ones.
Today’s tutorial will be going over how to make your very own Mustache necklace, like the one you can see my little sister modeling here:
(The glasses will be a later tutorial, if you would like)
Cute right? Well, stick with me and I’ll walk you through how to make one of your own.
Here is what you will need to make the Mustache itself. Ignore the jump rings for the time being:
Polymer Clay in your choice of color (I’m using black)
Two head pins
Exacto blade or a knife to cute the clay
First, you are going to need to pull out a chunk of your clay and condition it. Conditioning just means working with the clay until it is soft enough to mold into the shape you want with it crumbling.
Next, take your clay and roll it into a sausage kind of shape…something like this:
And then cut it in half.
You will want to roll each half into a sort of cone shape. You’ll want something that looks about like this: 
Press them together and shape them how you want your mustache to look:
Add your head pins and bake according to the directions on your polymer clay package:
Now, let’s assemble this bad boy! Here is what you will need:
Rounded pliers (yay! we found them!)
Your fully baked mustache
Clasp
Jump rings
Wire cutters
And (not pictured) a length of chain, Mine is 18 inches, again. 🙂
Cut down your head pins on the mustache:
Curl down the extra to make eyelets:
Add your jump rings to your chain, attach your mustache, and here you go (if you need a walk through on putting chain together, check out Part II on my Paris inspire Macaron necklace)!
Now, go out, show off your mustache-ness. Walk proudly…like a sir. 😉
