Create small balls of the air dry clay and press them onto a leaf to flatten them and create a print of the leaf.
Carefully peel off the leaf to reveal the print. Add a small hole to the top of the clay medallion with a toothpick.
Rather than making prints, you can also try to press delicate flowers and leaves directly into the clay. They will adhere to the clay as they dry.
Create a mix of different prints on the clay medallions and let dry overnight.
Once dry, use watercolor paints or colored pencils to add color to the clay medallions. A mix of pastel watercolors makes a particularly pretty effect on these necklaces.
Thread stretchy cord along with colorful beads to create pretty nature-inspired necklaces!
