Steam Punk/Rock and Roll head Accessories

I just finished making a Steam Punk/Rock and Roll barrette for everyday wear out of just a few things... Its crafting time! 

I used this barrette to make a mold out of foil ( because I didn't want to bake this barrette in the clay oven) and it looks like this... 









This is the foil mold so that when I place the clay on top of the barrette to get the shape of it I will be able to bake it on this guide in the clay baking oven.

Here is the clay I used. I used both black and silver colors for my barrette.
I take a small peace of the clay about an inch or two then form it on to the naked barrette. I make sure that the clay is NOT hanging over the sides. If it is then just take your clay tool or knife (be careful when using a knife) and cut the access off.

Then remove the clay that you just molded to the barrette and place it on the foil mold you made from the actual barrette and bake it.   Follow the baking instructions on your clay package.


Here is the mold I used to make the little spikes for the barrette. Use what ever color of clay you want to make your favorite color of spikes!  
I got this mold on etsy. Make four of these spikes for the barrette.









E6000 to make sure it all stays in place. 










Here are the black spikes I made with the mold and then baked them off. 












Take the silver clay you just baked and glue it on to the barrette and then wait for that to dry about 3 hours then take your spikes and glue them on. Make sure you wait 3-4 hours to wear this. 

Finally here is the finished product! I love my new handmade Steam Punk/ Rock and Roll inspired barrette accessory!  




I hope you enjoyed this new project! 
Have a great day and stay scary!
