- [Voiceover] Hi, everyone. It's me, Ann.

We will be making colorful bow rings and bracelet charms.

These are perfect for Spring and Summer time.

They're just so colorful and fun to look at.

I had so much fun making these bow rings and mustache.

So, let's not waste any time and get into this, shall we?

All you will need are some polymer oven baked clay,

You know, if you want to change up the colors

and add more variety, then this is a great way to do so.

which makes the color a lot more vibrant and stand out more.

And something to roll and flatten the clay with.

Here I have some ring base that I bought from etsy.com

and I will include the link on the bottom of this video.

The clay usually comes in bars like this.

To make this, I only need like about 1/3 of the bar.

and then soften if by kneading it with your fingers.

Next, roll it into a ball like how I'm doing right here.

And then, roll it down into a barrel shape.

Make it wide as your three fingers together, combined.

and then evenly as you can to form a oval ribbon,

Otherwise, it will not maintain shape easily.

Now that you have this flat, long oval as the ribbon,

fold in the sides, just like how I'm doing it here.

Okay, so now we need to cinch in the center of this ribbon.

The next thing you are going to need to do

so that way you can push the center inward.

And then, pinch the top and the bottom together.

Okay, so now it's time to make another ribbon.

go ahead and flatten it out to your desire

and then wrap it at the center of your ribbon bow.

go ahead and snip off the extra remaining.

So, that is basically how you make your bow.

And I would suggest to make as many as you like

what you're going to do is go ahead and prep the clay

Just create a flat surface big enough for you

to place the mustache picture and template on.

So, once you have the flat surface laid out,

print out a mustache drawing or you could draw it yourself.

If you want this template, I will put this on my blog.

What I'm basically doing here is cutting out my template,

so that way I can lay it on top of my clay.

Once that's cut out, I'm gonna lay it on my clay.

And then, take a knife and cut around the template.

I suggest you soften around the shape with your fingers.

If you want to make this into a necklace pendant

or something else, then make sure that you add in your holes

Now, it's time to bake these wonderful creations.

Mine is to preheat the oven to 275 Farenheit.

I like to decorate this with little embellished pearls.

You could totally do this with rhinestones.
