Hello friends. How is your week so far? It was quiet and lonely here today which I hate but at the same time, I was very productive.
Over the holidays I saw THIS super cool wood chain and I wanted to purchase it so badly, but the shipping cost to Canada was ridiculous.
And as usual, I wondered if I could make one of my own and guess what? today I want to show you how to make a wood chain link decor object using clay.
Obviously not as beautiful as the original, which if you’re not into making it yourself, you can purchase HERE
But if you want to give it a go, here is a quick video I made.
In retrospect, I should have made the links a little thicker and shorter, but you get the idea…lol
I also think it the links would have better shape if I had simply formed the link without attaching them together, waited for them to dry and then attached them together using hot glue. Just something to think about if you’re thinking of making it yourself. 🙂
What do you think? Can you relate with those crazy shipping costs? 🙁 makes me so sad but at the same time, I guess it sparks my creativity…ha.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. See again soon.
Much love,
Lucy
I actually like yours better than the original. I am just getting ready to fire my kiln and i think ill make my own ceramic version. Thanks for sharing!
I can relate to shipping charges ugh! I bought some items before the holidays from an awesome shop from the US but when the items arrived, I had to pay COD charges as well. That was an ouch!! I think Canadians get the bad end of the deal when trying to shop over the border 😒All the exchange, shipping and hidden costs ie. (at the door charges!) It just doesn’t work out so well! Good for you for digging in and figuring it out! They turned out great! 👏🏻
What did you paint on to it after forming?

It gives me a lot of important information, therefore I am quite delighted to visit your blog. color tunnel
To help the clay stick to the surface of the wood more effectively, you can add some water to it. Even after drying, clay allowed to air-dry will remain adherent to wood.
