What I've been making...

Hi! I'm in an unusually good mood lately :) The Olympic torch is coming through my town this week and I can't wait! The Olympic games will probably never come to my country again in my life so it's really exciting :D

 I made this charm bracelet just the other day. It is made out of Fimo (and maybe some Sculpey) clay. For the sweet-things I found a tutorial when I was bored on YouTube  but I can't find it now. For the bows I rolled of a strip of clay and folded the ends in to the middle, then I put another strip of clay over where the ends of the clay met. I'm sure there are similar tutorials on the internet if you don't understand :) Also, I used rhinestones on it to make it more sparkly!

I made these waffle cone ice creams at the week end because my mum bought me a real one on Sunday :) I don't think I'll be making a tutorial, but basically I made the cones and the chocolate chips first and baked them for 10 minutes and then I made the ice cream and put Translucent Liquid Sculpey mixed with chalk on the top of the cone. I put in some wire (I don't use eye pins anymore...) and baked it until the ice cream went hard.





I'm not exactly a professional... But according to my friends the people at the craft store were I buy my clay from, I'm quite good at it :) I wouldn't count my mum and dad, because they just say I'm good anyway. Even If I'm completely rubbish!

Anyway, I'm trying to make a slideshow of my best creations so far, so I can upload it on YouTube! Yay :) I don't know when I'll get the time to watch Shiki, I've been wanting to watch it for a while but my headphones  decided to break... But now I bought some more... I keep forgetting!

Welcome to my Blog!

Hi! Welcome to Crafts with Sapphire!
I like making charms out of polymer clay and drawing :)

I plan to make posts about the stuff I make and tutorials. Warning - I may also make random posts about my life!

Of course, I don't only make charms (because it's a little boring doing the same thing all the time!) I also make jewellery.

I plan to start selling my crafts in the future, however! I also have a Youtube account here.

By the way, I just left school! (In case you were wondering why I have so much time!)
