The other day was my friend Helen's
50th birthday, and now that I've given her her present, I'm free to show you all what I made!
So here's the main present, this brooch that I made from polymer clay and beads:

And here's the tin I made for her to store it in, along with all the other jewelry she seemed to get for the big day! It's made from a normal tin that I bought at spotlight, covered with paper. I then made and baked the teddy, bees, flower and hives out of polymer clay, and stuck them on with hot glue. Lastly, I covered the whole thing with a clear glue so that it went all shiny!

A view from each side:

I'm so happy she liked them! She wore the broach to church today and it looked fantastic!
