instructions

1. Bracelet - 1. Mix up a little pale pink clay and form into a 1cm curved cube with your fingers. Roll out a thin sheet of cognac clay and cut out a small circle, then place on top of the pink cube. Roll out a thin sheet of apple green clay, cut out a small blossom and place on top of the cupcake bead.
   
   2. Push a long needle through the base of the cupcake and out through the top to create a hole for the head pin. Roll out a sausage of white clay and roll up to look like cream, push the needle through the centre and place it on top of the cupcake, matching up the holes. Remove the needle and push the head pin through, then slip on a red seed bead.
   
   3. Make a few ridges with a scalpel along the cupcake base and sprinkle with glitter. Make another cupcake, decorating it in the same way with apple clay, and another two of each using purple and turquoise clay to embellish. Roll out a ball of purple clay, 6mm in diameter and gently push a head pin through the centre. Repeat to make another six.
   
   4. Bake all of the cupcake charms and round clay beads for 10 minutes at 110°C. Once cool, trim the end of the pin on each one, and turn over with round-nosed pliers to form a neat hook. Thread a pink pearl and an amethyst crystal onto a head pin, trim the end to size and loop with round-nosed pliers. Repeat to make another six.
   
   5. Fasten jump rings to either end of a 20cm belcher chain, plus a lobster clasp. Attach the cupcake charms and round beads to the bracelet with jump rings on every fourth link. Add the crystal drops to the same jump rings as the round clay beads to make a double cluster.
