Thor 2

"Your ancestors called it magic...but you call in science. I come from a land where they are one and the same." -Thor (2011)

Thor: A Dark World comes out tonight! I love the super hero movies, if you haven't been able to tell.  In celebration, I made a hammer necklace with lightning bolt earrings.  They are fun and will be prefect to wear to the movie!


Materials:
  • Yellow polymer clay
  • Gray or silver polymer clay
  • Brown polymer clay
  • Toothpick
  • Eye ring
  • Chord
  • Earring backs
  • E6000 or super glue.
Directions:
1. Make 2 triangles out of yellow clay.  
2. Cut the triangles into thirds.  Press pieces together to create lightning bolts.

3. Roll brown clay into a small cylinder.  
4. Make a rectangle out of gray clay.  
5. Attach the rectangle to the brown handle.
6. Draw the design onto the hammer.
7. Put a piece of gray clay around the bottom of the hammer handle.
8. Spiral a small strand of gray clay around the handle.
9. Make a small strand of brown clay and attach that to the bottom of the hammer.
10. Add the ring to the top of the hammer.  Attach with extra clay.
11. Bake at 225 degrees for 10 minutes.  Let cool.
12. Add chord to the necklace, and glue backs onto the lightning bolt earrings.

I wore these out a few times and have loved it!  It always helps to have the god of thunder as your jewelry.
