  1. Keyring - 1. Make up one name tile and bake and finish as above. Drill a small hole through the tile horizontally and vertically. Make up one peppermint, one pacific blue, one plum, one Indian red 8mm polymer clay ball. Create a pilot hole through the centre of each one and bake as before. Once cool, varnish the round beads.

    2. Thread a plum bead onto a head pin vertically, followed by the name tile and then a red bead. Trim the end to size and turn into a neat loop. Thread a peppermint bead onto a head pin, horizontally followed by the name tile and a pacific blue bead, trim the end to size and turn into a very small loop. Attach a jump ring to the red bead and then attach to a keyring fob to finish.

  2. Make it yours - Use the keyring design to make a gift tag for a decorated card pillow box.
